    rename Cortana


    in another thread the Rep replied you can not rename Cortana, yes you can I just did it. When you rename do not change the name just add ".bak" to the end. That way if you ever want to undo the rename all you'll need to do is remove ".bak".


    1. Open task manager right click Cortana then click "open file location",

    2. The folder with Cortana will open look for Microsoft.Windows.Cortana………....

    3. Now in TM right click and end task for Cortana, as soon as it ends go to the file location, right click and rename(add ".bak" to the end do not change anything else). If you are not fast enough Cortana will restart and it will not let you rename. You may have to try this 2-3 times before you get it renamed. It took me 2 times.

    :)

    In order to enable the Notebook icon in Cortana, I suggest you to check if you have enabled Cortana.

    To enable Cortana, please follow the steps below:

    • Go to Cortana.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Turn on “Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts”.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

    This issue can occur if some of the system files are not working as expected.

    Suggest you to follow the steps from this article to

    .

    Note: Do not go with the ‘Reset PC’ option for now.

    Method 1: Follow these steps to disable Cortana:

    1. Sign-in to the PC with your Microsoft account.
    2. In the search box at the bottom, type Disable Cortana.
    3. Once the suggestions appear in the list, click Cortana & Search settings.
    4. From the right section of the Settings pane, move the top button to ‘Off’ to disable Cortana from Windows 10.

    Method 2: Follow these steps to check if that helps.

    1. Launch Cortana from the search bar on the taskbar.
    2. Then, from the left pane click the settings button.
    3. Under "Cortana" (the first option) and slide the pill switch to the ‘Off’ position.

    Method 3: Launch the Settings app and click on Privacy. Navigate to Speech, inking, & typing, and click Stop getting to know me. These steps will disable Cortana.

    Hope this helps.
