  1. Cortana Reminders Won't Go Away


    I told Cortana to "Remind me to do X every day at Y". She faithfully did so for a month or so at which point I no longer needed her to remind me. I proceeded to delete the reminder from Microsoft To Do, yet every day she continues to remind me on my computer.


    The reminder does not show up on my mobile device. The reminder does not show up on Microsoft To Do. If I ask Cortana on my desktop what my upcoming reminders are she doesn't tell me I have any. However, every day it pops up in my Windows notification area. If click on it, it doesn't take me anywhere.


    I also tried logging out and back in to Cortana to no avail. I have since done a couple Windows updates which required restarts.


    At this point, I would like to just flush any Cortana cache I have on my desktop and re-sync from scratch, since it seems I somehow have a messed up cache. The only solution I have seen proposed is basically "erase your hard drive and re-install Windows from scratch" which seems like an obviously terrible solution to one app having a bad cache...

    :)

  3. cortana won`t talk to me

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    It's unfortunate that you are facing this issue. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • Check and verify if Cortana is activated?
    • Does Cortana search and gives any output/result on screen?
    • Is the Language and region settings set to valid value?
    • Check and verify if Cortana available in your region?
    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try to turn Cortana off and then try turning it on back and check if she talks. Refer to the steps below to turn Off and On Cortana:

    • Open Cortana.
    • Click the hamburger button in the top left of the window.
    • Go to Settings and click on off.
    • Follow the same steps to turn it on.
    • Check if issue persists.
    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.
