  • How to Set up Cortana (Or Remove Her) in Windows 10
    How to set up Cortana (or remove her) in Windows 10 Cortana, the personal digital assistant feature in Windows 10, will help you complete tasks, make it to your appointments on time, send messages and emails on your behalf, research the web and even launch applications. Orignally released with the Windows Phone (and named after the AI character from Microsoft's Halo franchise, looks to be a key element in the Windows 10 operating system. To begin the set up process, click or tap the microphone icon in the search bar and say "Hey Cortana" (if listening is enabled), followed by your question or search term. When properly set up Cortana is a powerful digital assistant. Start by clicking into the Cortana search box, and waiting for the results pane to appear. In the top- left corner of this, click the “hamburger” menu and then open Notebook. This tool allows you to determine what information Cortana can gather about you, and the more data she has, the more she can do. Cortana will have already asked you to input your name, but you can change this and more by opening About Me. Here, set the name you want her to use. Under Settings you can enable tracking info by switching on Find flights and more, which analyses your emails for such details. The Settings screen also enables you to toggle whether Cortana responds to “Hey, Cortana” which is very similar to Android’s “OK, Google“–the system will constantly be on the look-out for you saying this phrase, and will open Cortana when it is detected.
