  1. Cortana not searching the web


    Cortana searches files instead of searching the web. E.x searching up 12431x3 it will show files named '12431x3' if it doesn't find files it will show "no result" . It used to search the web and bring up a calculator instead of searching files.

  2. Cortana only providing web search answers since upgrading to Creators Update and will not run my Programs

    Cortana is integrated with search to make the experience better for users.

    You may try turning off the web search in Cortana and check if it helps.



    Kindly perform the below steps:

    • Click on the Cortana Search box.
    • Go to Notebook tab.
    • Click on Settings.
    • In Settings, Turn off the option Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alert and more.
    • Also, turn off Search online and include web results option.

    Let us know if this worked out for you.

    Cortana search filter list

    I have a lot of space for display content in Cortana search list, and 80% of it not used because Cortana sorting items by types.
    How disable all filters and make visible all suggested content?
