  1. cortana on new computer


    My current computer has win 10, and the search box says "type here to search." I remember it took me quite a bit to get away from the voice commands but do not remember how it was done. I do not want Cortana listening to what I say to my cat; I want only what I have on this computer (new one is currently being set up) which is "Type here to search" in the task bar. How do I get that on my new Win10 laptop?

    :)

    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.
