Windows 10: Updates for Windows 10, version 2004 now stops Cortana

I have now tried several times to apply the update from my 18363 build to 2004 but every time I find that Cortana no longer works giving msg that it not available in teh UK

I try to do the update every month to see if there has been aby fix or change. The OS goes thru the update with no issues. I am forced to roll back ot a previous version of the system in order to have cortana work with mic

Do I accept that cortana is flawed and update to build 2004 or stay with current build?

A]so there any workaround as some of the suggestion dont work for me?



Win 10 build 18363 Intel i5 9400F 2.90 Ghz 16Gb ram 500 Gb SSD

Thanks in advance

Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

At some point ppl will have to jump on win 10 tho. Apparently microsoft's plan is to endlessy update win 10. A brand new windows 11 isn't going to happen. If we keep screaming hard enough, they might redo the update system, and give an option to destroy cortana (the education version of 10 doesn't have cortana at all, so...)
