Cortana not connecting to internet

Hi Kshitij_Pal,

Damaged components within the application and network specific issues are some of the possible causes why issues with connecting Cortana to the Internet occurs. To provide an effective solution, I would need to know which build and edition of Windows 10
is installed on your PC.

In the meantime, I suggest running the automated troubleshooter for Windows 10 apps. This tool can scan and repair damaged Windows 10 application components. Visit this
link and then click on Run troubleshooter to successfully run the tool.

You can also follow the suggested troubleshooting steps in this link.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

  Did you make any changes to the phone prior to this issue?
