Steps to Enable Cortana on Windows 10 Tech Preview (for users outside of the US)

#1 · 26-01-2015 01:12PM #1

Hi All,

We've put together a simple step-by-step document showing how to enable Cortana from Ireland.

http://www.techknow.ie/#!How-to-Enable-Cortana-on-Windows-10-in-Ireland-and-other-nonUS-locations/c2011/54c62be70cf2fadc225507f5

Hope that helps.

Although Cortana isn't as good on PC yet as she is on Windows Phone, it will be great to see it updated in future builds.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks, I'll update to show that.

Strange thing is, if you go in to control panel via right-click, it does look like that.

If you go in the other way, it will bring up the new "Unversal App" Settings.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you viewing on a mobile device?

I've got some reports from users that this occurs intermittently for the Google Adsense ads on the page. The pattern seems to be that this affects users with Lumia devices.

We're taking a look at the hamsters keeping the site running to try to resolve it.

In the mean-time, you could be right. Cortana is the prophesied Second Coming of Clippy.
