  1. Cortana only returns Bing queries and nothing else


    Hi


    I have recently updated to the Windows 2004 Build 19041.264 of windows with the new Cortana.


    Cortana now does not set reminders read calendar or anything else Cortana is supposed to do. All it does is retrun a Bing search on how to do said command.


    I do not use office, I use the built in apps with a google account.


    Any ideas?


    Thanks

    :)
