  1. Remove Cortana Speech Mode


    Updated to windows 10 version 1903 and was surprised to find that Cortana was in speaking mode. Everything I have tried does not get me back to just opening Cortana and typing. She hasn't understood a single thing I've said so I just want to shut her up. Any help?

    :)

  2. CORTANA IN LISTEN MODE

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10!

    What is the edition of Windows 10 (Home, Education, Pro etc.)?

    I understand you have issues with Cortana in the Listen mode. If you have Windows 10 PRO installed in the system, then I would suggest you to try the following steps to change some group policy settings.


      • Press Windows key + R, type
        Gpedit.msc
        and hit ENTER.

      • Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search

      • Check for: 'Allow Cortana' and 'Do not allow web search'
        – Make sure they are ‘Not Configured’ or set ‘Allow Cortana’ to Enabled and ‘Do not allow web search’ to Disabled

      • Open an elevated command prompt and run:
        gpupdate /force

      • Go to Settings > Verify and correct: Time, Region and Language

        And, then go to Settings > Apps and Features > Manage optional features > Download Speech Recognition and Text-to-speech
    NOTE: The troubleshooting steps are only applicable to
    Windows 10 PRO
    .

    Let us know if the issue gets resolved using the troubleshooting steps.

  3. Cortana Speech Problem

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you with this.

    Please make sure your Country or Region, Language, and
    Speech Language settings are all aligned with one of Cortana’s supported locale configurations.  If these OS settings are not aligned, Cortana will not be available in proper language. For example, Cortana will not work properly
    if your country is set to United States, but the Windows display language is set to English (United Kingdom).



    I suggest you to try to turn Cortana off and then try turning it on back and check. Refer to the steps below to turn Off and On Cortana:

    • Open Cortana.
    • Click the hamburger button in the top left of the window.
    • Go to Settings and click on off.
    • Follow the same steps to turn it on.
    • Check if issue persists.
    I suggest you to refer to the steps and settings given in below discussion thread by
    Sharath Srinivasa and confirm that your system is configure in same settings:

    Why is Cortana not available for me on Windows 10?



    Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.

    Thank you.
