I hate CORTANA

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, there are a lot more things Cortana can do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cortana is Microsoft’s digital assistant whose mission is to help you get things done.

To get started, select the Cortana icon in the taskbar or type a command in the search bar. If you’re not sure what to say, try asking, "What can you do?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some things Cortana can do for you:

Give you reminders based on time, places, or people.

Track teams, interests, and flights.

Send emails and texts.

Manage your calendar and keep you up to date.

Create and manage lists.

Play music, podcasts, and radio stations.

Chit chat and play games.

Find facts, files, places, and info.

Open any app on your system.

Trust me, I find google's assistant much much better, in fact, every AI is better than this. Everything I say, it searches on Edge. I think, speaking to Cortana is equivalent to performing a voice search in a web browser. "Play some music" - searches on Edge, "What's the time" - Searches on the internet, "What is the product of 9.8 by 5?" - Searches on Edge,  WHY IS IT EVEN THERE!!!???? Is this seriously happening or only my Cortana is so, so, so stupid?

Hello,

Try re-registering Cortana. Perform these steps:

1. Open Windows PowerShell as administrator.

2. Then type following command and press Enter key:

Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Let the command complete.

3. Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now.

If issue still persists, drop a feedback to Windows engineering team via Feedback hub app (Windows key + F).

Let us know if this helps!

Thank you very much!

Feeling like, my Cortana has finally started learning English!

Thanks, Lee. I already knew the functions, Cortana can perform, the problem was, it wasn't performing any! However, half of my issue is solved. The functions I required for daily use are now available. Thanks, I appreciate your concern.

Thank you very much!

Glad to help!

Glad to hear that ..... We are constantly improving the features.

No offense, my friend, but even on my mobile, Google Assistant is much much better than Cortana. At least, Google talks like AI, but Cortana keeps searching for everything I say on the browser. Well, at least it can show results without opening the browser, can it not? And I do have serious issues with voice match. Microsoft, please improve this stupid AI

Hey guys,

I'm fed up with this stupid AI. It already was useless, never taking commands, just kept searching, even if I say, like 'Play Music' and it'd search on Bing, but now it pops up, doesn't even listen and disappears. I guess, this is the worst AI, I've encountered in my whole life!
