    How can I change what Cortana calls me?


    Hello Microsoft!

    Yesterday my younger brother used my Surface Book and in the "Notebook" section of Cortana changed what Cortana called me it was user earlier, I never touched Cortana's settings. As he has done so now, can I change it? I have searched YouTube and have not found any solution to change my name a second time. Kindly help.

    Note: 1909 Windows 10 version

    Thanks!

    :)

  3. How to reset what Cortana calls you. [Bugged?]

    Hi,



    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you wish to change the name Cortana Calls you.



    Let us try the following steps and check if ti helps.


    • Press Windows +
      S keys and click on Notebook icon, then click
      About Me
      .

    • Select Change my name.

    • Type your name of choice into the prompt. Click
      Enter.

    • Select Hear how I'll say it to confirm that Cortana will speak it correctly.

    • If Cortana says it incorrectly, Click
      That's wrong, and you'll be given the option to say the name aloud.

    • Once you approve of how Cortana says your name,
      select Sounds good.


    Hope it helps.

    How can I change what Cortana calls me?

    I know a bunch of people have asked this, but unfortunately none of the articles I've read have helped. I somehow do not have the "About Me" section of the Cortana menu, and that seems to stop me from changing what she calls me? It makes me very uncomfortable.
