    Is Cortana disabled with a local account?


    I think that this has been asked before, but I still can't find an answer.
    I would prefer to use a local account, but unless I use my Microsoft account I can't get Cortana to run.
    Is this right?

    :)

    Local local area connection adapter is disabled

    Hi! I've been having a problem with my Ethernet connection ever since I upgraded to windows 10 (from windows 7). Every now and then while browsing the internet or playing an online game my connection stops and when I run troubleshooting on it I'm told
    that the local area connection adapter was disabled. It restarts its and the internet comes back up, but some times not even 15 mins later it does it again and sometimes the troubleshooting gets stuck while resetting the adapter and I have to restart my computer (which brings
    the internet back online too).

    Is Cortana disabled with a local account?

    From my understanding you need to use an MS account to have access to Cortana.

    - it doesn't work, even with a Microsoft Account..
    - is it not available in the UK...?
    - refuses to start on the PC, for some reason..

    - it works fine on Windows 10 Mobile preview.. *Confused

    It is available, but I've just turned mine off because I want to use a local account.
    Not sure how you've got that message about the region not being supported?

    Have a look at your region settings in control panel:

    tried everything I can..

    - it's a bit of a joke really..
    - I shall just have to do without Cortana on the PC..

    - it really ought to be available as a set-up file
    - so that you could download and install it, with all of the correct settings in place..

    - I'm half-expecting it to just start up as if by magic..
    - bonkers..!! *Confused
