    Cortana Notebook

    In order to enable the Notebook icon in Cortana, I suggest you to check if you have enabled Cortana.

    To enable Cortana, please follow the steps below:

    • Go to Cortana.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Turn on “Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts”.

    Hope this helps.

    Lost Cortana tile

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand you have attempted to pin Cortana to start screen but the tile is not appearing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    What exactly are you trying to do?

    Method 1: If you want Cortana on the Start Screen, follow the steps below.

    • If you want to Pin it to Start screen.
    • Search for Cortana app and right click on it to Pin to Start or Taskbar.
    If the issue persist I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Method 2: System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    To perform SFC Scan, refer to the below link:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
