    Cortana can hear me, but she's no longer activated by voice and is instead activated inside a chatbox window. Where can I activate "activate Cortana by voice"?

  3. Cortana not responding after "Hey Cortana"


    Hey guys, I have windows 10 pro 64bit and a couple days ago when I said hey cortana it opened up and I could say stuff like what time is it. Now (without changing anything) it responds to "Hey Cortana" but after that it just says "Listening..." until I close it. Same thing if I trigger it with the mouse. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Hey Cortana doesn't respond

    Hi Dvae,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the Cortana fails to respond on Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

    It's possible that your microphone settings are incorrect. Let's try the following steps and check if it resolves the issue.



    Step 1: Check if you have enabled the "Hey Cortana" feature



    1. Click on the Windows Search bar or Press Windows key.

    2. Click on the Hamburger sign at the top left of the window and click on
    Settings.

    3. Enable Let Cortana respond when you say 'Hey Cortana' option.

    4. Now check if it works. (Tip: After you say "Hey Cortana", follow up with a question/service for Cortana to

    respond).



    Step 2:



    If issue persists, follow the suggestion provided by Jason D on January 29,
    2015 from below link and check if it helps:
