The answer to this may simply be, "Wait for the Cortana iOS app" but I thought I'd ask.
Is there a way to get Cortana's reminders on the iPhone? When you create a reminder on Windows 10 does it get stored in a calendar that you could then sync to the iPhone? Or are Cortana's reminders tucked away in an inaccessible place?
I cannot view my Windows Calendar any more. When it is opened a blue background with the picture of a calendar in the middle pops up. I can still use Cortana to set up appointments and reminders. Everything is in my Outlook Calendar though so my appointments, etc. are not gone. I thought about going to the Store and setting it back up but will it have my appointments and stuff, if I do that? Will it sync again? Like I said, I can still use it with Cortana but cannot view it.

View 1 RepliesI am on windows 10 Pro 10586.63 with all updates applied. Whether through Cortana or by keyboard, the data is accepted but when I hit the REMIND button it comes back with an error message saying the reminder can't be placed.
I did a lot searching here and on google and found nothing.
Every time that I start up my laptop and load up my desktop, Compatibility Assistant gives me the exact same reminders every time. What do I need to do to stop this constant notification every time that I start up my system?

I'm playing around with the calendar app and can't get it to sync. I have put different reminders in calendar on my desktop, laptop and Win 10 phone. None of the reminders show up on the other devices. Mail works Ok. What do I need to do to get the reminders to show up in all devices? All devices are logged into my MS account.

View 2 RepliesMy photos from my iphone are being automatically uploaded to my start menu and appearing in the live tile that is available for my photo app in the start menu. I need to know how I can remove the photos and also how I can change my settings so that I can stop sharing my photos to my Win 10 PC. Is this something I need to do in icloud, itunes, or can I adjust the settings in the photo app itself?
View 2 RepliesI have had this issue for a while, any way to restore these. The Cortana Live Tile and Cortana entry in the All Apps section are both missing so I cannot re-add the Live Tile back.

View 1 RepliesI already have a Microsoft account that I've been using for some months with OneDrive. When I start Cortana it requires me to log into that account. I do so, but then it pops up a screen telling me to "Enter your old password one last time", and then "From here on out, you'll unlock this device using the password or PIN you just set up.
Before we can say goodbye to your local password, you need to provide it one last time." It then gives me another password box and says "(leave blank if none)".
But it won't let me leave it blank, and when I re-enter my Microsoft account password, it tells me its incorrect...even though it works fine with OneDrive. What PIN it refers to, nor what it is trying to accomplish...but it has stopped me trying out Cortana.
Since installing windows 10 I haven't been able to retrieve the photos.
View 2 RepliesSo I thought I'd give Cortana a try since I can turn it off again if I don't want it, however I get to the point where it makes me login, I enter my email address and password and then it takes me to the next step where it tells me something like you need to enter your current password just one more time.
I enter the same password one last time and it tells me it's wrong.
I go through it all over again and reset my password and try again, go though the first login and get to the second stage where it asks me to enter my password one "last" time, and I do and it tells me it's wrong again.
Try a third time, this time leaving the password blank on the 2nd step and still fails.
Edit: I know the password is correct as I've used it to login to live this morning, so not sure why it's not accepting it in the 2nd stage of the Cortana setup.
Upgraded from a 64 bit Windows 7 Home computer to Windows 10 via a DSL connect @ 3 MBPS connection speed (fastest I can get at my house). Had to let it run overnight/part of next day to complete. I did not get any error messages during installation.
Working with the new install of Windows 10 (I do tech support for a software company that supports our product which requires a Windows O/S), I wanted to be up-to-snuff on the product and see all the bells and whistles and get used to it before our tech support department got inundated.
Problem is that when I hook up my iPhone 5S to the USB port, it no longer will start the iTunes program - if I start iTunes, it opens, but the phone is not recognized under devices. Everything was fine before I did the upgrade. I have also tried changing USB cables to connect, and encounter the same issue.
I also found that when going into the Games (Solitaire), I get a message that it cannot connect. It lets me in, but there are those messages.
Both of these work fine on my Windows 10 computers at work, Solitaire and connecting the iPhone to them. I wonder if my download of the update somehow hung on something and didn't complete properly, or if something got corrupted during the upgrade process. I have also followed all the FAQs that pertained to the iPhone on the iTunes site, none of which fixed the issue.
Is there a way that I could download the Windows 10 again, to a USB drive from work and then bring home and do a repair?
I've connected my iPhone 5 to my HP ZBook 15 on windows 10 via bluetooth but i cant stream music like i used to on win 7, even on windows 7 it worked in the beginning and then i reinstalled win 7 and installed drivers from cd (that came with pc) cause i had a virus, then when i reinstalled it won't work... a while after i installed windows 10 and here i am...i searched bluetooth on sys info and here's the result:
Name[00000004] Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
Adapter TypeNot Available
Product TypeBluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
InstalledYes

In windows 10 it says I can chat with Cortana and ask it questions and get a personalized response, but this isn't the case for me. It says I can speak aloud or type, but since I've no mic, I choose to type.
When I ask it something like "How's the weather" or "How tall is Jeff Goldblum?" I get a bing search page that pops up instead of a Cortana response. All of the interests are enabled and such and I've filled out the about me with my name.
As soon as I start typing ANYTHING, it shows results for "The Web" and "My Stuff" but doesn't even try to ask Cortana the question.
I don't know what triggers it and have yet to zero in on some gesture or part of the screen that calls up the black box.
But sometimes it just seems like it randomly pops up when I'm doing something and I have to X it.
Discovered I can't turn on 'Location'.
1. I can click the 'Change' button in Privacy, Location, but nothing happens. ('Location is off' is displayed)
2. 'Location' is greyed out in the Action Centre
3. The Network Location Service is running
(I've tried stopping, starting it, restarting the PC).
then I discovered
4. Cortana does not appear in Toolbars (rt click taskbar)
5. The response to clicking Cortana in the start menu is to go to Store, Downloads and updates.
(Cortana was working a while back- I thin I turned it off at some point)
I have changed some things in Privacy, and tried to undo those. Everything else seems fine. I'm guessing I've turned sthg off or changed an option somewhere.
I just reinstalled and there's no option in her settings to turn off the web search she does when you search for files on your pc and such. How else could I turn it off if its not listed in her settings?
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to completely remove Cortana? I disabled it, but it keeps running in the background.
I did find some suggestions to remove it, but it also removes the search and causes problems to other stuff.

View 4 RepliesI have Windows 10. When I select the Settings option there is not an option to turn on Hey Cortana. The first option is "Cortana can give you suggestions..." and the second is "Device search history". Where to find the option to turn on "Hey Cortana" as it should be under Settings according tot he sites I have read.
View 2 RepliesIt's interesting to see that after i "disabled" it from the options, the process Cortana is still running and is tied to searchui.exe . And after deleting Cortanaware, the windows search bar stopped responding!
Is there any other way to stop this from the services or something? i've looked for it and found nothing. It's funny how MS tells you Cortana is "disabled" but the process in task manager is still up and running just fine.
This is how to permanently disable Cortana, first start into safe mode and navigate to [URL].. you will need to Take Ownership of the Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy folder and then delete the file SearchUI.exe. How to remover it from the start menu.
