Windows 10: Cortana: Unavailable in English (UK)

Recently updated to the 2004 build, now whenever launching Cortana it tells me it's unavailable in English UK.

I've tried resetting, updating app and setting all language packs to UK, but still get the same issue. It worked perfectly prior to this update.

Any ideas? thanks

Cortana 'unavailable in your area' but I'm in the UK

Hi,

We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

To make the Cortana work in UK, you should set the default language and speech settings to UK. You are not able to change the speech settings to English UK because you have not downloaded the speech packs for the English UK.
I suggest you to check the language and speech settings in Cortana by following below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows + I keys on the keyboard to open settings menu.
  
• 
  Click on Time and language and select
  region and language.
  
• 
  Under Language option, check which language is Set as default.
  
• 
  If you find different language, you can change it by clicking on Add a language option.
  
• 
  Select your preferred language (English UK) and click on
  Set as default under English UK language.
  
• 
  Now, click on English UK and click on
  Options.(Under Languages)
  
• 
  Download the language, handwriting and speech packs.
  
• 
  Now, click on Speech from the
  Time and language settings menu.
  
• 
  Check if you are able to select the speech settings to
  English UK.
  
• 
  After performing above steps, check if you are able to use Cortana.
  

I suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by the
mickapw in below thread and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Get Cortana to work in English (UK) for Windows 10

I upgraded to Windows 10, and Cortana doesn’t seem to be available based on the Start Menu:

but when I click the link, it takes me to this page:





which suggests it should be available in the UK, since I've checked

• my language settings are English (UK),
  
• I have the English (UK) language pack installed, and
  
• the speech settings are also set to English (UK).
  

I think this is everything, right?  It certainly ticks the boxes in the Microsoft help article.

How can I get Cortana up & running?
