Cortana , kaaliyaha farsamada casriga ah, waa mid ka mid ah sifooyinka ugu wanaagsan ee ay bixiso Microsoft Windows ^(Microsoft)10^{(Windows 10)} . Si aad u isticmaasho, waxa aad u baahantahay in aad marto habka habaynta marka ugu horaysa, oo aad barato sida loola macaamilo iyada. Cortana waxay kaa caawin kartaa siyaabo badan, si aad u noqoto mid wax soo saar leh oo aad la xiriirto waxa aad xiiseyneyso. Waxay kaloo ku maaweelin kartaa, markaad caajisto oo aad rabto inaad qososho. Haddii aad rabto inaad isticmaasho Cortana , gudaha Windows 10 , halkan waa sida loo habeeyo iyada:

MUHIIM:^(IMPORTANT:) Hagahan waxa la abuuray iyadoo la isticmaalayo Windows 10 Cusboonaysiinta Hal- ^(Update)abuurka ^(Creators)Guga^(Spring) , oo bilaasha lagu heli karo, laga bilaabo Abriil 2018^{(April 2018)} . Haddii arrimuhu u muuqdaan kuwo ka duwan qalabkaaga, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad isticmaalayso nooc ka sii weyn Windows 10 .

Cortana waxa ay la socotaa inta badan waxyaabaha ay kaa garanayso, gudaha Buuggeeda Xusuus- qorka^(Notebook) . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, qaar ka mid ah dejinteeda ayaa sidoo kale lagu habeeyey barnaamijka Settings^{(Settings app)} . Si aad u awooddo inaad si faahfaahsan u habayso iyada oo aad u hesho dhammaan goobaha la heli karo, waa inaad tagtaa labada meelood: Buugga Xusuus- qorka^(Notebook) iyo Settings .

1. Gal Buugga Xusuus-qorka ee Cortana

Aan ku bilowno hubinta Buugga Xusuus- qorka^(Notebook) marka hore. Ku billow Cortana^(Cortana) adigoo gujinaya ama ku dhufo sanduuqa raadinta ee ku yaal bar-barka shaqada, oo dhagsii ama taabo badhanka Buuga Xusuus^(Notebook) -qorka ee dhanka bidix-sare.

Dabadeed taabo badhanka Personalize .

Buug^(Notebook) - yarahaagu waa meesha ay Cortana ku hayso qaar badan oo ka mid ah dejinteeda iyo meesha aad ku habeynayso waxaad rabto inay adiga kaa ogaato.

Waxa ugu horreeya ee aad dareento waa in buug- yaraha^(Notebook) uu u kala qaybsan yahay madax iyo laba tab oo waaweyn:

1. Cinwaanka madaxa waa meesha magacaaga lagu soo bandhigo iyo meesha aad ku habeyn karto tafaasiisha muhiimka ah ee adiga kugu saabsan.
2. Tabaha ugu horreeya waxaa loo yaqaannaa Abaabulka,^{(Organizer, )} waana meesha aad ka abuuri karto oo aad ku maamuli karto Liisaska^(Lists) iyo Xusuus^(Reminders) -qorka .
3. Tab labaad waxaa loo yaqaan Maare Xirfadaha,^{(Manage Skills,)} waxayna ku saabsan tahay dhammaan xirfadaha Cortana , oo ku saleysan waxaad u ogolaato oo u habeyso inay sameyso.

2. Tafatir macluumaadka cinwaankaaga iyo meelaha aad jeceshahay

Qaybta madaxa ee Buugga Xusuus- qorka^(Notebook) ee Cortana ayaa gacanta ku haysa macluumaadkaaga gaarka ah: magaca, iimaylka, cinwaanka guriga iyo meelaha aad jeceshahay. Buug^(Notebook) - yarahaagu waxa uu ku tusayaa magacaaga iyo ciwaanka iimaylka oo kaliya, haddii aad rabto in aad aragto macluumaadka intiisa kale, waa in aad gujisaa ama taabataa badhanka Tafatirka^(Edit) ee dhanka midig. Waxay u egtahay qalin yar.

Markaa, Cortana waxay ku tusinaysaa ciwaanka gurigaaga iyo meelaha aad jeceshahay, haddii aad hore u dejisay. Haddii aadan samayn, ama haddii aad rabto inaad ku darto meelo dheeraad ah, waxaad riixi kartaa ama taabo badhanka "+ Add a place" .

Kadibna, geli ciwaanka meesha aad rabto inaad ku darto. Cortana si toos ah ayey u raadisaa oo waxay soo bandhigtaa natiijada hoosteeda goobta qoraalka. Hubi natiijada oo taabo ama taabo midka ku habboon weydiintaada.

Hadda u dooro meeshaas naaneyska^(Nickname) , si aad si fudud ugu garan karto meelaha kale. Guriga, Shaqada, Gabadha saaxiibka^{(Home, Work, Girlfriend )} ah ama saaxiibka^(Boyfriend) , dhamaantood waa doorashooyin wanaagsan. Ogsoonow in tani ay tahay faahfaahin ikhtiyaari ah oo waad ka boodi kartaa haddii aad rabto. Kadib, dooro nooca goobta: Guriga, Shaqada^{(Home, Work)} ama midka la jecel^(Favorite) yahay . Haddii aad ku darto meelo badan, waxay u badan tahay inaad ka dhigto kuwa aad ugu jeceshahay^(Favorites) , maadaama aad yeelan karto hal guri^(Home) oo keliya . 🙂 Markaad dhammayso, taabo Save si Cortana ha u xafido meesha aad jeceshahay.

Cortana hadda waxay kugu soo celinaysaa liiska meelaha aad jeceshahay, halkaas oo aad sidoo kale arki karto kan cusub.

Ogsoonow^(Notice) in meel kasta oo aad jeceshahay ay sidoo kale leedahay badhanka menu-yar oo ay matalaan saddex dhibcood oo laalis, oo ku yaal dhinaceeda midig. Haddii aad gujiso ama ku dhufatid, Cortana waxay ku siinaysaa dhawr ikhtiyaar oo meeshaas ah:

• Waad wax ka beddeli kartaa ,^(Edit) laakiin taasi waxay ka dhigan tahay oo keliya beddelidda Nickname ;
• Waxaad kartaa "Show in Maps", taas oo macnaheedu yahay in Khariidadaha^(Maps) App-ka uu furmo oo ku geeyo ciwaanka meesha aad jeceshahay;
• Waxaad ka saari kartaa meesha^(Remove) aad jeceshahay su'aasha.

Taasi waa wax kasta oo aad ku samayn karto qaybta macluumaadkaaga shakhsiyeed ee Cortana 's Notebook .

FIIRO GAAR AH:^(NOTE:) Tabaha ugu horreeya ee Cortana's Notebook wuxuu kuu oggolaanayaa inaad abuurto oo aad wax ka beddesho Liisaska^(Lists) iyo Xusuusiyeyaasha^(Reminders) . Kuwani waa waxyaabo faa'iido leh oo la sameeyo waxaana hubaal ah inay kaa caawin karaan inaad noqoto mid wax soo saar leh mustaqbalka fog. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kuma xirna qaabeynta Cortana , taas oo ah diiradda qodobkan.

3. Habee isku xidhka Cortana^{(Configure Cortana)} iyo marin u helka macluumaadka shakhsiyeed ( Maamul Xirfadaha^{(Manage Skills)} )

Mid ka mid ah sifooyinka ugu fiican ee kaaliyaha gaarka ah, mid macquul ah ama aan ahayn, waa inta xirfadood ee waxtarka leh ee ay leedahay. Waa run in Cortana aanay lahayn xirfado badan intii ay kari lahayd ama ay tahay inay lahaato. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay leedahay xirfado taxane ah oo faa'iido leh. Dhammaantood waa la arki karaa oo lagu habayn karaa tabka maaraynta xirfadaha ee buuggeeda Xusuus- ^{(Manage Skills)}qorka^(Notebook) .

Cortana waxay kooxaysaa xirfadaheeda iyadoo ku xiran ujeeddadooda. Xirfadaha caadiga ah ee aad ka heli karto Windows 10 qalab kasta waa:

• Xiriirinta: ^{(Connections: )}Muusigga, Guriga Ku Xidhan, Adeegyada Ku Xidhan^{(Music, Connected Home, Connected services)}

• Wax soo saarka: ^{(Productivity:)} Jadwalka & xasuusinta, Safarka & gaadiidka, Soo qaado meeshaad kaga tagtay, Hawlaha la soo jeediyay^{(Calendar & reminders, Commute & traffic, Pick up where you left off, Suggested tasks)}

• La soco wixii cusub: ^{(Stay up to date:)} Maaliyadda, Duullimaadyada, Wararka, Xirmooyinka, Ciyaaraha, Cimilada^{(Finance, Flights, News, Packages, Sports, Weather)}

• Qaab-nololeed: ^{(Lifestyle: )}Wax cun oo cab, wax iibsi, maalmo gaar ah^{(Eat & drink, Shopping, Special days)}

• Caawin: ^{(Help: )}Talooyin Cortana^{(Cortana tips)}

Mid kasta oo ka mid ah xirfadahan waxaa ku jira hal ama in ka badan oo xirfado u oggolaanaya Cortana inay la falgasho abka iyo adeegyada aad jeceshahay. Caawinaadkooda, waxay sameyn kartaa waxyaabo ay ka mid yihiin inay ku ciyaarto idaacadaha TuneIn , hubi jadwalkaaga^(Calendar) , ku ogeysiiso xirmooyinka aad raadineyso, raadso meelo aad wax ka cunto iyadoo ku saleysan cuntada aad jeceshahay, ama xitaa kicin kulaylka gurigaaga^{(turn up the heat in your home)} .

Cortana waxay leedahay in ka badan 230 xirfadood^{(has over 230 skills)} wadar ahaan, marka ma noqon doonto wax aan macquul aheyn in lagu daboolo dhamaantood casharradayada.

Waxaan jeclaan lahayn inaan tilmaamno, si kastaba ha ahaatee, waa inaad si dhab ah u tijaabisaa xirfadaheeda oo aad u habayso inta aad awooddo si Cortana ay u qabato shaqadeeda ugu fiican ee ku caawinaysa.

4. Gal goobaha Cortana

Isku xidhka Cortana^(Cortana) ee soo socda ee aan ka hadli doono ayaa laga heli karaa abka Settings . Waxaa jira laba siyaabood oo lagu tago halkaas:

• Waxaad furi kartaa app Settings^{(open the Settings app)} ka dibna riix ama taabo badhanka Cortana
• Ama waxaad bilaabi kartaa Cortana oo guji ama taabo badhanka Settings .

Si kastaba ha noqotee, waa inaad tagtaa goobaha Cortana , oo sidan u eg:

5. Hubi in Cortana ay ku maqli karto

App - ka Settings waa inuu hadda muujiyaa qaybta dejinta ee loo yaqaan "La hadal Cortana." ^{("Talk to Cortana.")}Haddii aysan taasi ahayn, dhagsii ama taabo "La hadal Cortana"^{("Talk to Cortana")} oo ku taal dhanka bidix ee daaqada. Kadib, dhanka midig, taabo ama taabo isku xirka oranaya "Check makarafoonka."^{("Check the microphone.")}

Ficilkan waa inuu bilaabo saaxir cilad -sheegid Hadalka . ^(Speech)Raac talaabooyinkeeda oo hubi in Cortana ay ku maqasho.

6. Ka dhig Cortana inay maqasho codkaaga oo ka jawaab marka aad tidhaahdo " Hey Cortana "

Qaybta xigta waxaa la yiraahdaa "Hey Cortana," waana meesha aad ka go'aansan karto inaad rabto inay si joogto ah u dhegeysato codkaaga, oo uga jawaab marka aad tiraahdo "Hey Cortana." Haddii aad taas rabto, karti beddelka beddelka sidaas leh, laakiin maskaxda ku hay in Cortana adeegsato batari dheeraad ah marka sifadani shidan tahay.

Haddii aad dooratid inaad karti u yeelatid "Hey Cortana," waxaad geli kartaa dhowr dejin oo dheeri ah:

• Waxaad dooran kartaa inaad "qalabkaaga ka ilaaliso inuu seexdo marka uu ku xidhan yahay si [aad] had iyo jeer u odhan karto 'Hey Cortana' (haddii aad [adiga] demin [laftaada])"^{("keep [your] device from sleeping when it's plugged in so [you] can always say 'Hey Cortana' (unless [you] turn it off [yourself])")}
• Waxaad ka dhigi kartaa "Ka jawaab marka qof uu yiraahdo"Hey Cortana"^{("Respond when anyone says 'Hey Cortana'")} ama "isku day inaad u jawaabto adiga oo keliya."^{("Try to respond only to [you].")}

Haddii aad rabto in aad u habayso Cortana^(Cortana) in ay kuugu jawaabto adiga oo keliya, marka hore waa in aad ka caawisaa in ay barato codkaaga. Taas awgeed, waa inaad gujisaa ama taabataa isku xirka oranaya "Baro sida aan u iraahdo 'Hey Cortana'."^{("Learn how I say 'Hey Cortana'.")}

Ka dib u gudub saaxirka oo ku celi lixda weedho ee Cortana ay ku waydiiso inaad akhrido. Dabadeed, waa in ay kuu jawaabto adiga oo keliya.

7. Ka dhig Cortana inay dhageysato amarradaada marka aad riixdo Windows + C

Marka aad taas dhammayso, ku noqo daaqada Settings , oo dooro inaad rabto Cortana inay dhageysato amarradaada marka aad isku mar riixdo furayaasha Windows + C

8. Habee Cortana si ay kuugu jawaabto xataa marka qalabkaagu xidhan yahay

Cortana way kuu shaqayn kartaa xataa marka aad Windows 10 PC ama qalabku xidhan yihiin. Taasi waxay la macno tahay inaadan mar dambe u baahnayn inaad furto PC-gaaga ama qalabkaaga si aad ula hadasho iyada. Dhowrka hab ee soo socda ee qaybta "Talk to Cortana" ee ku jira abka Settings waxay ku saabsan yihiin habaynta iyada inay taas samayso. ^(Settings)Waxaan ku sharaxnay hawsha qaabeynta, cashar gaar ah: Sida loo awoodo oo loo isticmaalo Cortana si toos ah Windows 10 shaashadda qufulka^{(How to enable and use Cortana straight from the Windows 10 lock screen)} .

9. Maamul waxaad u ogolaatay Cortana oo arag

Qaybta "Ogolaanshaha & Taariikhda"^{("Permissions & History")} ee goobaha Cortana , waxay kuu ogolaaneysaa inaad hubiso oo aad hagaajiso wax kasta oo la xiriira waxa Cortana ay adiga kaa ogtahay iyo macluumaadka ay adiga kugu heli karto.

Aagga Ogolaanshaha^{(Permissions)} waxa uu leeyahay isku-xiryo ku geynaya meelaha khadka tooska ah iyo khadka tooska ah, halkaas oo aad awooddo:

• "Beddel waxa Cortana ay ka ogtahay [adiga] daruuraha dhexdiisa"^{("Change what Cortana knows about [you] in the cloud")}
• "Maamul xogta Cortana waxay ka heli kartaa qalabkan"^{("Manage the information Cortana can access from this device")}
• "Maamul xogta Cortana waxay ka heli kartaa adeegyada kale"^{("Manage the information Cortana can access from other services")}

Guji^(Click) ama taabo mid kasta oo ka mid ah xiriiriyeyaasha oo dooro macluumaadka aad rabto inaad la wadaagto Cortana iyo waxa kale.

10. Dooro sida loo shaandheeyo macluumaadka dadka waaweyn natiijooyinka raadinta ee ay muujisay Cortana

Qaybta Badbaadada Raadinta^(SafeSearch) waxay kuu oggolaanaysaa inaad habayso sida macluumaadka dadka waaweyn loogu sifeeyo natiijooyinka raadinta ee aad ka hesho Cortana . Waxaa loo habayn karaa si ay u miirto waxyaabaha dadka waaweyn sida tan:

• Adag - "Ka saar qoraalka dadka waaweyn, sawirada, iyo fiidyaha natiijooyinka shabakada [kaaga]"^{(Strict - "Filter out adult text, images, and videos from [your] web results")}
• Dhexdhexaad - "Ka shaandhayn sawirada iyo fiidyaha dadka waaweyn, laakiin ha ka soo koobin qoraalka natiijooyinka shabakadaada"^{(Moderate - "Filter adult images and videos but not text from [your] web results")}
• Off - "Ha ka shaandhayn macluumaadka dadka waaweyn [natiijada] shabakada."^{(Off - "Don't filter adult content from [your] web results.")}

Doorashooyinku waa cad yihiin, markaa dooro waxaad door bidayso.

11. Dooro in Cortana ay ku isticmaali karto macluumaadkaaga daruuraha gudaha Raadinta Windows^{(Windows Search)}

Sida caadiga ah, haddii aad haysatid wax ku kaydsan daruuraha (loo yaqaan OneDrive ), Cortana sidoo kale way baari kartaa marka aad wax ka raadinayso iyada oo adeegsanaysa sanduuqa raadinta ee goobta shaqada. Haddii aad rabto inaad damiso sifadan, dami furaha loo yaqaan "Windows Cloud Search" ee Cortana's "Ogolaanshaha & Taariikhda."^{("Permissions & History.")}

12. Maamul taariikhdaada oo u ogolow Cortana inay isticmaasho (ama ha isticmaalin)

Cortana sidoo kale waxay ku arki kartaa taariikhda dhaqdhaqaaqaaga aaladahaaga oo waxay horumarin kartaa raadinta addoo isticmaalaya. Haddii aad rabto in ay iyadu awood u yeelato in ay isticmaasho wixii hore, sifadani waa daaran, markaa uma baahnid inaad wax samayso. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, haddii aadan rabin inaad u ogolaato Cortana inay sidaas samayso, waxaad dami kartaa "Arag taariikhda dhaqdhaqaaqa"^{("View activity history")} iyo "Taariikhda^{("My device history")} qalabkayga" shilalka. Sidoo kale, haddii aad rabto in aad tirtirto qoraalladaadii hore ee hawlaha, waa in aad sidoo kale gujisaa ama taabo badhanka " Clear my device history"

13. Ku xidh isku xidhka Cortana^{(Configure Cortana)} iyo aaladaha kale

Haddii aad leedahay Android ama Windows 10 mobilada^(Mobile) casriga ah, oo aad ku rakibtay Cortana app-ka, markaas waxaad ka heli kartaa ogeysiisyo, si toos ah kaaga Windows 10 PC. Sifadan waxa daar ama damiya daaran loo yaqaan "Hel ogaysiisyada taleefoonka ee PC-gan"^{("Get phone notifications on this PC")} waana in sidoo kale lagu dadajiyaa Cortana^(Cortana) app-ka casriga ah si uu u shaqeeyo.

Intaa waxaa dheer, haddii aad rabto inaad sii waddo qaar ka mid ah waxqabadyada aad ku bilowday aaladahaaga kale, Cortana ayaa ku caawin karta. Si aad awood ugu yeelatid sifadan, waa in aad awood u yeelatid furaha oranaya "Iga caawi in aan soo qaado meeshii aan kaga tagay aaladaha kale"^{("Help me pick up where I left off on other devices")} dhammaan qalabka aad isticmaasho.

14. Cortana ha ku siiso talooyin liis ah

Qaabaynta kama dambaysta ah ee laga heli karo goobaha Cortana waa sifo la yiraahdo "Hel talooyinka liiska." ^{("Get list suggestions.")}Haddii aad isticmaalayso sifada Liisaska^(Lists) si aad u habayso noloshaada, Cortana way ka qayb qaadan kartaa xataa in ka badan oo "waxay kaa caawinaysaa inaad liisas samayso oo ku siiso warar iyo talooyin la xidhiidha." ^{("help you make lists and give you relevant updates and suggestions.")}Haddii aad rabto in ay taas samayso, waa in aad ogolaato in aad hesho talooyin adiga oo shid daaran loo yaqaan " Hel liiska soo jeedinta."^{("Get list suggestions.")}

Si kastaba ha noqotee, waa inaad ogaataa in Cortana ay u baahan tahay marin u helka taariikhdaada wax raadinta, si aad u ururiso oo aad isticmaasho haddii aad rabto inaad ka hesho talooyinka liiska iyada.

Oo…^(And…) taasi waxay ahayd wax kasta oo aad u habeyn kara habka Cortana ugu shaqeyso Windows 10 Cusboonaysiinta Hal- ^(Update)abuurka ^(Creators)Guga^(Spring) .

Gabagabo

Cortana waxay samayn kartaa waxyaabo badan, si ay taas u awooddo, waa inay noqotaa mid adag. Natiijada tooska ah ayaa ah in ay haysato fursado badan oo qaabeynta kuwaas oo aad la qabsan karto si aad uga dhigto shaqadeeda sida aad jeceshahay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, mar alla markii aad qaadato wakhti aad ku sameyso waxaas oo dhan, la falgalka Cortana waxay noqon doontaa waayo-aragnimo shakhsi ah, adiga iyo iyada labadaba. 🙂

The complete guide to configuring Cortana in Windows 10

Cortana, the personal virtual assistant, is оne of thе best features offered by Microsoft in Windows 10. In оrder to use her, yoυ need to go through a first-time setup process, and learn how to interaсt with her. Cortana can help you in numerous ways, so that you are more prodυctive аnd keep in touch with what intеrests you. She can also entertain you, when yoυ arе bored and wаnt tо have a laugh. If you want to use Cortana, in Windоws 10, here is how to configure her:

IMPORTANT: This guide was created using Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, available for free, as of April 2018. If things look different on your device, you may be using an older version of Windows 10.

Cortana keeps track of most of the things she knows about you, inside her Notebook. However, some of its settings are also configured in the Settings app. To be able to configure her in detail and get to all of the available settings, you have to go to both places: the Notebook and the Settings.

1. Access Cortana's Notebook

Let's start by checking the Notebook first. Launch Cortana with a click or a tap on her search box on the taskbar, and click or tap the Notebook button on the top-left.

Then press the Personalize button.

The Notebook is the place where Cortana keeps many of her settings and the place where you customize what you want her to know about you.

The first thing you notice is that the Notebook is split into a header and two major tabs:

1. The header is where your name is displayed and where you can customize the essential details about yourself.
2. The first tab is called Organizer, and it is the place where you can create and manage Lists and Reminders.
3. The second tab is called Manage Skills, and it is all about the skills Cortana has, based on what you allow and configure her to do.

2. Edit your address information and favorite places

The header part of Cortana's Notebook handles your private information: name, email, home address and favorite places. The Notebook shows just your name and email address and, if you want to see the rest of the information, you have to click or tap on the Edit button on the right. It looks like a small pencil.

Then, Cortana shows you your home address and favorite places, if you have already set them. If you did not, or if you want to add some more places, you can click or tap on the "+ Add a place" button.

Then, enter the address of the place you want to add. Cortana searches for it automatically and displays the results under the text field. Check the results and click or tap on the one that matches your query.

Now choose a Nickname for that place, so that you can easily identify it among the others. Home, Work, Girlfriend or Boyfriend, are all good choices. Note that this is an optional detail and you can skip it if you want. Then, select what type of place that is: Home, Work or Favorite. If you add more places, you are likely to set them as your Favorites, as you can have only one Home. 🙂 When you are done, press Save to let Cortana memorize your favorite place.

Cortana now brings you back to the list of your favorite places, where you can now also see the new one.

Notice that every favorite place you have also has a small menu button represented by three suspension dots, on its right side. If you click or tap on it, Cortana gives you a few options for that place:

• You can Edit it, but that just means changing its Nickname;
• You can "Show in Maps," which means that the Maps app opens and takes you to the address of that favorite place;
• You can Remove the favorite place in question.

That is everything that you can do in your personal information section from Cortana's Notebook.

NOTE: The first tab from Cortana's Notebook lets you create and edit Lists and Reminders. These are useful things to do and can definitely help you become more productive in the long term. However, they are not related to the configuration of Cortana, which is the focus of this article.

3. Configure Cortana's connections and access to personal information (Manage Skills)

One of the best features of any personal assistant, virtual or not, is how many useful skills she has. It is true that Cortana does not have as many skills as she could or should have. However, she does have a series of useful skills. All of them can be viewed and configured in the Manage Skills tab from her Notebook.

Cortana groups her skills depending on their purpose. The default skills you get on probably any Windows 10 device are:

• Connections: Music, Connected Home, Connected services

• Productivity: Calendar & reminders, Commute & traffic, Pick up where you left off, Suggested tasks

• Stay up to date: Finance, Flights, News, Packages, Sports, Weather

• Lifestyle: Eat & drink, Shopping, Special days

• Help: Cortana tips

Each of these skills sets contain one or more skills that allow Cortana to interact with your favorite apps and services. With their help, she can do things like play radio stations in TuneIn, check your Calendar, notify you about the packages that you are tracking, find places to eat based on the food you like, or even turn up the heat in your home.

Cortana has over 230 skills in total, so it would be impossible to cover them all in our tutorials.

We would like to point out though, that you should definitely tinker with her skills and configure as many as you can so that Cortana can do her best work in helping you.

4. Access Cortana's settings

The next Cortana configurations that we are going to talk about are available in the Settings app. There are two ways to get there:

• You can either open the Settings app and then click or tap on the Cortana button
• Or you can launch Cortana and click or tap on her Settings button.

Either way, you should get to Cortana's settings, which look like this:

5. Make sure that Cortana can hear you

The Settings app should now display the settings section called "Talk to Cortana." If it is not, click or tap on "Talk to Cortana" on the left side of the window. Then, on the right, click or tap on the link that says "Check the microphone."

This action should launch the Speech troubleshooting wizard. Follow its steps and make sure that Cortana can hear you.

6. Make Cortana listen to your voice and answer when you say "Hey Cortana"

The next section is called "Hey Cortana," and it is the place where you can decide whether you want her to listen to your voice permanently, and answer when you say "Hey Cortana." If you do want that, enable the switch that says so, but keep in mind that Cortana uses more battery when this feature is on.

If you choose to enable "Hey Cortana," you get access to a few additional settings:

• You can choose to "keep [your] device from sleeping when it's plugged in so [you] can always say 'Hey Cortana' (unless [you] turn it off [yourself])"
• You can make her "Respond when anyone says 'Hey Cortana'" or "Try to respond only to [you]."

If you want to configure Cortana to respond only to you, first you must help her learn your voice. For that, you must click or tap on the link that says "Learn how I say 'Hey Cortana'."

Then go through the wizard and repeat the six phrases that Cortana asks you to read. Then, she should be able to answer to only you.

7. Make Cortana listen to your commands when you press Windows + C

Once you are done with that, go back to the Settings window, and choose whether you want Cortana to listen to your commands when you press the Windows + C keys simultaneously.

8. Configure Cortana to answer to you even when your device is locked

Cortana can work for you even while your Windows 10 PC or device is locked. That means that you no longer have to unlock your PC or device to be able to talk to her. The next few settings from the "Talk to Cortana" section in the Settings app are about configuring her to do that. We described this configuration task, in a separate tutorial: How to enable and use Cortana straight from the Windows 10 lock screen.

9. Manage what you let Cortana do and see

The "Permissions & History" section of the Cortana settings, lets you check and adjust everything related to what Cortana knows about you and the information she can access on you.

The Permissions area has links that take you to online and offline places, where you can:

• "Change what Cortana knows about [you] in the cloud"
• "Manage the information Cortana can access from this device"
• "Manage the information Cortana can access from other services"

Click or tap on each of the links and select what information you want to share with Cortana and what not.

10. Choose how to filter adult content in the search results shown by Cortana

The SafeSearch section allows you to configure how adult content is filtered out in the search results you get from Cortana. She can be configured to filter the adult content like this:

• Strict - "Filter out adult text, images, and videos from [your] web results"
• Moderate - "Filter adult images and videos but not text from [your] web results"
• Off - "Don't filter adult content from [your] web results."

The options are clear, so choose what you prefer.

11. Select whether Cortana can use your cloud content in Windows Search

By default, if you have content saved in the cloud (a.k.a in OneDrive), Cortana can search it too when you are looking for stuff using her search box on the taskbar. If you want to disable this feature, turn off the switch called "Windows Cloud Search" from Cortana's "Permissions & History."

12. Manage your history and let Cortana use it (or not)

Cortana can also view your activity history on your devices and improve searches using it. If you want her to be able to use your past, this feature is on by default, so you do not have to do anything. However, if you do not want to let Cortana do so, you can disable the "View activity history" and "My device history" switches. Also, if you want to erase your past activity logs, you should also click or tap on the "Clear my device history" button.

13. Configure Cortana's integrations with other devices

If you have an Android or Windows 10 Mobile smartphone, and you have installed the Cortana app on it, then you can get notifications from it, directly on your Windows 10 PC. This feature is turned on or off by the switch called "Get phone notifications on this PC" and must also be enabled in the Cortana app on the smartphone to work.

Moreover, if you want to continue some of the activities you started on your other devices, Cortana can help you out. To enable this feature though, you must enable the switch that says "Help me pick up where I left off on other devices" on all the devices that you use.

14. Let Cortana give you list suggestions

The final configuration available in Cortana's settings is a feature called "Get list suggestions." If you are using the Lists feature to organize your life, Cortana can participate even more and "help you make lists and give you relevant updates and suggestions." If you want her to do that, you have to agree to receive suggestions by turning on the switch called "Get list suggestions."

However, you have to know that Cortana needs access to your browsing history, to collect and use it if you want to receive list suggestions from her.

And… that was pretty much everything that you can configure the way Cortana works in Windows 10 Spring Creators Update.

Conclusion

Cortana can do lots of things, and to be able to do that, she must be complicated. The direct result is that she has lots of configuration options which you can fiddle with to make her work just the way you like it. However, once you have taken the time to do all that, interacting with Cortana will be a personal experience, for both you and her. 🙂
