  1. Cortana Missing from PC


    Hello! I was looking to set up Cortana and use voice commands on my PC, but I can't find it anywhere. It's not hidden in the taskbar or anything like that. When I look under all apps, it's not even under there. In the Cs I have Calculator and Connect, but no Cortana. I ran a command in Windows Powershell that was supposed to fix my missing Cortana issue, but that didn't fix it either. I may have uninstalled it long ago, thinking I would never need it. Is there a place where I can just reinstall it?



    Thanks!
