    Say I want to check my display settings, what I typically do is search "display" in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen where the image and the box to go to the display settings shows up, like the image below. When I attempt to click in the grey area, nothing happens at all. Instead, I have to click on the settings image and search within the settings search box.

    I would like to clarify.


    -All my updates are very up to date.

    -I have reset my computer.

  2. Search without Cortana

    Hi,

    The search function on Cortana showing both local and online suggestions is designed to help users to gain full access to all the possible search results. If you're trying to search for a local file without picking up online suggestions, we recommend that
    you use the filter option to refine the search. Here are the steps on how to set the filter:

    • Type the word that you're trying to search.
    • Select the appropriate filter for the desired result.


      When I use Cortana to search for something in settings, I am unable to click on the desired... 8f635b1a-87cb-478c-89d6-f384502ffef7.png
    • Wait for the list to load and click the desired search result.

    Basic searches like, function, settings, and location doesn't require filter. In addition, you can click the drop-down arrow for
    Filters to view other filter type.

    Let us know should you need further assistance.

    Not getting the Cortana logo on search bar and its showing Cortana isn't supported.

    Hello,

    I suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps listed below and check if it resolves the issue.

    Step 1: Make sure that Cortana is enabled

    Click on the Taskbar search box, click Settings icon, and then make sure that the option labelled
    Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts and more
    is turned ON.

    Step 2: Time and region.

    I suggest you to check for the time and language and region settings for Cortana.


    • Open Settings. Select Time& language, and then Region & Language.

    • Check the Language (set as default)
      setting for your Windows display language. If your desired language is not available, add your desired language.
    Step 3: Turn on Location

    1. Click on Start and select
    Settings, navigate to Privacy >
    Location.

    2. On the right-side, under Location, you will see on if the location is enabled for this device.

    3. And, if the location for this device is not enabled, please click the Change button, and then move the slider to on position.
