The fact that Cortana is not working on the latest Windows 10 version is surprising, taking into account all the publicity Microsoft created around its personal assistant.

After the Anniversary Update Cortana has gone

“[…] now Cortana is missing. When I click on the Search icon, there is no notebook, no light bulb, and if I try Settings, I just get “Change what Cortana knows about me in the cloud.” No sound commands in Cortana are working, from “Hey Cortana” to anything in Search. I can’t search by voice.”

Users can no longer use Cortana after updating to Windows 10 version 1607

“So as soon as the update to Anniversary update finished, I hit up Cortana and after a second it changed back to the regular “search” and doesn’t let me turn on Cortana back again.” Other users managed to get Cortana to work to a certain extent. However, it appears that not all the options are available: the info cards, the notification mirroring and other features are unresponsive, or they are missing altogether.
