Windows 10: What is the Status of Cortana with Outlook in 2018

Hi Everyone,

I've mostly ignored Cortana until I saw a Microsoft video showing its integration with a lot of applications. I thought it would be cool to to be in my car, tell Cortana to email my boss and tell him I'm on my way or I'll be late.

However, I've learned that Cortana only works with Office 365. I have Office 2010 on my work computer. We use MSDN as we develop software in C#. We use Outlook as our client but I don't know what we are using to to manage our emails outside of Outlook.

It would be nice if Cortana could tell me about my meetings and appointments for the day.

Fortunately, my phone uses a service the allows Google to see my work calendar and I can ask Google what is on my calendar for today. i Can't add meetings or anything like that however.

Any ideas on what i can do or is this a dead end?

Thanks!

:)

 

Cortana fails to detect flight itinerary in Outlook

Thank you, Andre, for providing the suggestions. At this point, I have performed the complete list of suggested remediations. I have also performed a reset (saving personal files) on my Surface Pro 4. None of the steps has resolved the problem with Cortana
tracking flights.

As a side note, this evening I asked Cortana to track a flight. The app correctly found flight tracker information on the Web (Launching Edge), but did not take the hint to track the flight.

For validation, Outlook is correctly capturing the flight itineraries in my email. Cortana is properly tracking package deliveries, but will not track flight itineraries.

This is certainly not the most important issue in my life, but it has become a bit of a nag that I'd like to resolve. Unless there is another suggestion, my next step will be to perform a complete reset.

Appreciate the assistance.
