    Cortana lock screen problem

    CORTANA is not available in the lock screen

    In the new Anniversary update for Windows 10, you are supposed to be able to use Cortana from the lock screen. After installing this anniversary update, under "Get Started," "What's new," "Cortana--Your
    digital agent" you see the following: "Cortana is ready to help you in more places in Windows 10, including the lock screen. When your device is locked, you can still check your calendar ("What's my
    schedule for tomorrow like?") or ask Cortana important questions
    ("Can you beatbox?")." Further down the list of updates is "Do more on the lock screen," where you will see stated the following: "Cortana isn't the only new feature on the lock screen—you can now play music while your device is locked
    to
    control the action from start to stop. Media controls appear at the bottom right corner of the lock screen, along with a picture of the album art from the song currently playing."

    Like Nithi(01), I am unable to access Cortana from the lock screen. I can not access the music option either. Further yet, after the update, I am having difficulty getting to the login screen from the lock screen. When I click on the lock screen to go to
    the login screen, the screens dims slightly and then just sits there. Sometimes after alengthy
    period, I am finally able to access the login window. (I use the picture login option where you have to touch the screen in the designated spots to login.) Other times, the screen just reverts back to the lock screen. After several attempts,
    I am sometimes able to get to the login screen. If that does not work, I have to restart my computer and try all of these steps again. It's VERY frustrating! Please help! or send out an update fixing these problems as I am finding the many people are having
    the same issues. Oh, by the way, I am using an HP Pavilion laptop.
