Cortana Does Not Respond to "Hey, Cortana"

Hi,

To assist you better, please provide us with the below information;

• 
  Did you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
  
• 
  Does the Cortana search tool work properly?
  

I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps resolve the issue;

• Right click on the
  speaker icon in the lower right hand corner of your desktop.
• Select "Recording Devices".
• Select your main input microphone.
• Speak into the microphone.
• Note the sound level meter. You want the level meter to peak every so often at the top of the bar but still show good bounce during your spoken text.
  
• Ensure the microphone input is still selected and
  click properties.
• Click the Levels tab.
• If you have a microphone boost set it in the middle.
• Now adjust the microphone gain by moving the slider.

10. Click “Apply” and verify that the level meter is responding as described in step 5.

If the issue still persist, I suggest you to refer to the below link and try the troubleshooting methods and check if it helps;
