Windows 10: Cortana/Search won't work

Hey, search box a.k.a cortana isn't working. I tried the method with task manager to end the process but it isn't working. Anyone has any ideas how can i make this work? Thanks

:)

 

app issues

cortana and search won't work and most of my apps are corrupted

 

Cortana strange behaviours

My pc's microphone works just fine in every app. Cortana reacts to "Hey Cortana" but just answers me, after 1 second or so, "Sorry, I can't hear anything".

Also, searching something on the web on Cortana and clicking on it, won't open Microsoft Edge. Also search results on the right pane won't click.

 

try reinstalling your microphone driver, though it only worked for me for a couple of days.

 

- mine hasn't worked since day one..

I get this..




- strange.. (??)

 

Hi, worth checking you have 5 icons down the left side of Cortana - usually if people have 3, something is wrong.

Also check 'Location' is not shaded out in the action centre/notification panel and the Geolocation service is running.

A few things I've picked up from elsewhere- (some I've forgotten for now..) which you've probably seen anyway..

Fixing Cortana

Windows 10: Common Problems Users Have and How to Fix Them | Page 6 | Digital Trends

First of all, hit Start > Cortana > Notebook and you can toggle Cortana on and off.

Take a look in Settings > Time & language. You need to make sure
that you’re using one of these languages – Chinese (Simplified),
English (U.K.), English (U.S.), French, Italian, German, and Spanish,
and that your Speech language pack is installed. You also need your
country or region to be China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United
Kingdom, or the United States.

Solved Search is not working. - Windows 10 Forums
Cortana 10.041 requires three things

An active Internet connection
Settings: turned on
An MS account.

In my experience, if you are not connected, it does nothing.
If you are connected and it is off, it shows the trends, but search
is still brain dead.
If you try to sign-in to your MS account through Cortana, the dialog
wants you to Switch from a local account to a MS account. That's not
just signing in, that's more than I wanted to do, so that's as far as
I went ... I did not Switch to a MS account. I have another account
set up to test with that, but I never would have seen this on that
sign-in account.

 

- yep, sure enough..
- only three icons showing..

- checked..
- and that's where the problem starts..
- how come there is no Language pack available?

- it's greyed-out in the list of available language packs..
