cortana activation.

Hi Tikam,

The key here is that you have installed the Education edition of Windows 10 and Cortana has purposely been removed (for obvious reason(s) I would think). Below is an excerpt from the MS TechNet description page.

"Windows 10 Pro Education builds on the commercial version of Windows 10 Pro and provides important management controls needed in schools. Windows 10 Pro Education is effectively a variant of Windows 10 Pro that provides education-specific default settings,
including the removal of Cortana".

Good Luck,

No Cortana after Anniversary Update of Windows 10

Ok, I have found the Solution for the Problem.

It is because Microsoft has released a new Edition of Windows i.e. Windows 10 Pro Education. In which, Cortana has been disabled due to the sponsored content. As you can see below in the extract from the website rcpmag.com.

New Windows 10 Pro Education Edition

Another bit of Windows 10 anniversary update news is that there will be a new Windows 10 Pro Education edition. It'll arrive on Aug. 2, the spokesperson confirmed. A

report by veteran Microsoft reporter Mary Jo Foley had first described it. Microsoft recently published details about the new Windows 10 Pro Education edition in

this TechNet article.

The Windows 10 Education edition is typically described by Microsoft as being equivalent to the Windows 10 Enterprise edition for organizations. The new Windows 10 Pro Education Edition will similarly mirror the Windows 10 Pro edition. However, Microsoft
will be adding some education-specific capabilities with the anniversary update Education edition releases on Aug. 2.

For instance, Windows 10 Education editions (version 1607) will be bringing simplified provisioning for K-12 schools via a "Set up School
PCs app or Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer" tool, the TechNet article explained. There also will be a "Take
a Test" app that prohibits students from using browsers during a test. It also blocks Cortana searches and other apps use.

Microsoft actually plans to disable Cortana from both Windows 10 Education editions, although educational institutions can turn it off now using Group Policy. The spokesperson explained that
Cortana is being removed to avoid delivering "sponsored content" to students:

Microsoft is working on creating a future Cortana service that has an "education-appropriate experience."


As for any other possible Windows 10 anniversary update editions that could crop up on Aug. 2, the spokesperson said Microsoft had "nothing further to share."

I also contacted to the Microsoft and they told me that Cortana has been disabled in Education Edition of Windows 10. After Anniversary Update, Cortana has only been disabled in Education Edition.
