Cortana is your clever new personal assistant!

Cortana will help you find things on your PC, manage your calendar, track packages, find files, chat with you, and tell jokes. The more you use Cortana, the more personalized your experience will be.

To get started, type a question in the search box on the taskbar. Or select the microphone icon and talk to Cortana. Here are some things you can say to Cortana:

  • How old are you?
  • Tell me a joke.
  • Show me the latest NBA scores.
  • How many calories in a boiled egg?
  • Put swimming on my calendar for tomorrow.
  • Change my 3 PM event to 4.
  • What's happening this weekend?

If you have Cortana Hidden from the Taskbar. Disabling Cortana does not delete the date stored on Bing.com. nor uninstalled from Windows 10.
