Windows 10: Cortana Settings Blank/Not Loading

Hi!


I have an issue with the settings app, as it does not load the settings of Cortana.


I can see the "Cortana" category on the home page of settings, but if I click on it, none of it's tabs show anything, except the "More details" tab, which loads seamlessly.


I have the region and language set to English (United States), and a default location set to Miskolc, Hungary.


Thank you in advance for any help,

Marcell

Cortana Notebook

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.

This issue can occur if some of the system files are not working as expected.

Method 1: Follow these steps to disable Cortana:

1. Sign-in to the PC with your Microsoft account.
   
2. In the search box at the bottom, type Disable Cortana.
   
3. Once the suggestions appear in the list, click Cortana & Search settings.
   
4. From the right section of the Settings pane, move the top button to ‘Off’ to disable Cortana from Windows 10.
   

Method 2: Follow these steps to check if that helps.

1. Launch Cortana from the search bar on the taskbar.
   
2. Then, from the left pane click the settings button.

Hope this helps.

Cortana and settings options disappeared


Have you been able to use Cortana before and have you experienced any problems with it then?
What about trying a system restore?

Also this could be of some use to you: Cortana Search Box Windows 10
I would particually suggest step 3 and see if the problem still remains with a new user account.
