    Cortana and Location Settings

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    This issue may occur if location settings are not turned on for Cortana.

    To turn on location settings for cortana, I suggest you to try these steps and check if it helps.




    • Click on Start Button and type Location in the search.

    • Open Location Privacy Settings.

    • Under the option "choose apps that can use your location" check if Cortana is turned on.

    • If not turn on and check if it helps.
    Also suggest you to check if similar issue persists on another user account.



    Create another administrator user account by referring to

    Set up accounts
    on Windows 10 article.



    The corrupted user profile does not function normally such as not launching
    Start menu, Cortana, Search bar, Store and other
    Windows applications. In such cases creating a new profile and checking for the same will help in identifying if the is specific to corrupted user profile or the OS.



    Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance.
    Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
