Can't Get Cortana to Speak

Hi Cole,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

I understand that you are not able to speak with Cortana on Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.

• 
  We need to know the region where you live?
  
• 
  Have you connected any external devices to the computer?
  

Cortana is available in the following countries/regions: China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States. Cortana is available in these languages: Chinese (Simplified), English (U.K.), English (U.S.), French, Italian,
German, and Spanish

To use Cortana, all these settings must be set to the same language:

1) Languages (this is your device language)

2) Speech language (language pack must be installed)

3) Country or region

Note: If you change your region, you might not be able to shop at Store, or use things you've purchased, like memberships and subscriptions, games, movies, TV, and music.

I suggest you to refer to the suggestion provided by
