Windows 10: SAVING PASSWORD and CORTANA

1) WHY are my email and passwords not saving? I have checked WINDOWS DEFENDER, SYSTEM MECHANICS, and MOZILLA to ensure I did not check them to be wiped during cleanings. But EVERY Website I bring up is blank.


2) WHY do I have to click on MICROPHONE each and every time I want to give CORTANA an instruction?

Cortana Notebook

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.
