Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB3176929 for Windows 10 version 1607 build 14393.10

Installed Anniversary 14393.0 from the official MS site. The very first update when I joined the Insider Program was a Defender Update amd kb3176929. This upgraded the Hyper-VM I used to directly to 14393.10.

The only thing that was strange was that - although I installed a PIN during installation that sign-in option never appeared and in fact was not available in the Settings section. Probably something to do with the Virtual Disk Hardware??

 

Hyper-V Enhanced Mode is based on RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and requires a password, PIN and Picture Password do not work in Enhanced Mode. Therefore, logically when signing in with password using Enhanced Mode the PIN and Picture Password options are also missing from Sign-in options​:




As soon as you switch from Enhanced Mode to normal mode, PIN and Picture Password will become available:




Screenshots taken just now, both from same Hyper-V vm. First when using Enhanced Mode, second when using normal mode.

 

I'm in the UK (so all my regional settings were English United Kingdom) and I'm having the exact same problem and I updated my non-insider 10586 to the Anniversary Update last night so it's now 14393.10 and lost the ability to use Cortana on my local administrator account (I haven't tried creating a local user which isn't an administrator yet).

Similar to you, I only see English in US, India, Canada and Australia so my local English has disappeared. If I change my region to United States then English United Kingdom appears but English US vanishes!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I Received Cumulative update WS10version 1607 for x64 systems KB3176929 and have now lost Cortana. With No way to switch it back on. Right clicking on the task bar does not give the option. Clicking on the search button gives a message about typing and accessing apps and net. This does work but I would rather have Cortana back. Its not working on Edge either. I ran system restore which brought back Cortana but Then the Update Killed it again. (OS 14393.10 build Windows Insider). This morning i uninstalled the update and Cortana came back. But obviously The system wants me to install it again

 

Exact same thing here on 1 pc - the other did NOT have this problem and they are exactly alike. ?? Maybe someone (or Microsoft) will find a solution for this soon, I hope. Will post here if I find one.

I did find this on MS site:
"Description
After installing Windows 10 build 14393.10 (Anniversary Update), Cortana is no longer available, and there is no way to switch it back. Also, Cortana won't work on Microsoft Edge either.
Status
Microsoft is aware of the issue and it's working to offer a fix in the next couple of days.
Resolution
If you've been affected by this issue, you'll need to wait until Microsoft releases a permanent fix."

 

Seems to be related to a a requirement where Bing search must be enabled for Cortana to work, the registry change in this discussion worked for me..

My Cortana works but throws error when accessing Bing

Should this thread retain the Insider prefix now that it is confirmed as the Anniversary release? - any discussion here is now surely relevant to non-insiders too. *Smile

 

After a clean install on my Surface Pro 4, then reinstalling all settings, thanks to an M$ account I find this iteration has a very small footprint, only 17 GB in total including all apps.
After all the trumpet blowing by M$ with Windows Hello with its face and pin recognition, disappointingly I find this no longer works since the update.

 

Here's another article I found on the Cortana issue ...

Oh thanks! This worked marvelously for me!!!! Cortana working for all users on 14393.10 now!

 

JohnBurns ... I tried the registry fix suggested in this thread and it worked for me! Cortana is now working for all users on14393.10.

Here is the link to the thread ...
