  1. No icons for "Phone" or "Cortana" in Windows settings


    I recently built a new computer and installed Windows 10 Pro Creators Update (version 1703) and just noticed that I have never had icons for Phone or Cortana in my Settings. These settings are also not available in the search bar within Settings. See attached screenshots below.

    Since I've heard of issues like this resulting from pirated software, I'd like to clarify that I purchased and downloaded the OS directly from Microsoft and installed it onto a brand new SSD and have had no issues with the machine once I got the overclock stable.

    Thanks in advance for any and all tips!

    Enter on keypad " no. + # "

    petrib is correct. It is a shortcut to SIM numbers.

    Numbers on your SIM might not be in the position you think. Just because they appear sorted in alphabetical order in the contacts list doesn't mean that they appear in that same order on the SIM. On the SIM they appear in the order in which you input them,
    unless you delete a number in which case the next one entered takes its place.

  7. Brink, thanks for the explanation. I found the update and it is downloading now.

    What confuses me now is the fact that I installed a Windows update just a few days ago and my "Windows Update" tab in Settings confirmed that it is up to date. However, I just manually clicked the "check for updates" button, and only now see the option to update to 1709. Is there a reason this update did not present itself automatically?

    If you done anything to defer or pause updates, that could cause the delay.
