    Hey Cortana not opening


    Cortana recognizes my voice perfectly when I click on it, I've run troubleshooted the microphone nothing is wrong all other programs recognize it fine. But when I say hey Cortana the task bar shifts slightly as it recognizes the prompt but it doesn't come up; I've tried saying an instruction straight after and it still doesn't work. It just randomly started working a 2 days ago and now it doesn't again. I've only had this laptop for a week, its the Lenovo Yoga c640. I've checked the drive too. How do I fix this? Windows 10

    :)

  3. Cortana not responding after "Hey Cortana"


    Hey guys, I have windows 10 pro 64bit and a couple days ago when I said hey cortana it opened up and I could say stuff like what time is it. Now (without changing anything) it responds to "Hey Cortana" but after that it just says "Listening..." until I close it. Same thing if I trigger it with the mouse. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Hey Cortana

    It can be opened by touch the search button or home screen tile or from app list. The real problem is every time I have to touch the microphone icon to speak to Cortana.

    Where is my 'Let Cortana respond to "Hey Cortana" ' setting ?
