I used to know this, but I don't remember anymore.

And, for those of you want to get rid of Cortana, It's as easy as deleting the whole registry of

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]

When you corrupt that,...

NOT gonna clean install. NOT ever!

Guess I will keep nag and complain to Microsoft that they really need to put out a Cortana fix tool!

TBCH, I am very surprised they don't have such tool yet...

Did you read my previous post in this thread?

Sorry, I know you are trying to help, but didn't seem you did that.

I appreciate your help, but as I've repeatedly said, my intent is to ONLY reset just Cortana portions, and NOT the entire registry whatsoever.

Well, how?

I have NEVER ran across any guides on resetting Cortana registry to default values.

Again, this is a registry issue.

Everything being so far suggested on fixing Cortana has been file issue, SFC /scannow is a file repair, it doesn't do anything to the registry. Other than very...

It is still NOT in Creator Update final that's released this week. Very frustrating that MS never fixes these things ARGH!

I do NOT and did NOT purposely want to get rid of Cortana, I actually WANT to have Cortana back!

But, I will not "Clean Install" to get it back.

It's now up to Microsoft to issue us a Cortana...

Yes tried Powershell. If you read the thread, that has been previously discussed.

But you have to understand, I don't think Powershell touches the registry at all. I believe it only replaces...

I have gained more understanding, knowledge on what is going on with Cortana.

Here is what I did and observed.

I imported

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:F:\sources\install.esd IS STILL FAILING, even thru the latest Creators Update ISO from Download Windows 10

Guess NO FlightSigning package in it...

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:F:\sources\install.esd failed again.


I am sorry this isn't the right thread. It's sort of related, but not exactly...

Guess what I will do...

I DO NOT think the release that's currently on Download Windows 10 has the FULL package.

Confirm?

An update -

I imported registry from another computer with good Cortana

This key and it's subkeys. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]

Then I restarted my...

Thanks!!!

AWESOME, is this under Chrome I wonder. Let me check.

Is there a software, browser extension that will AUTOMATICALLY highlight/find keywords that I've set up so whenever it is on the page it's highlighted and I don't have to keep using Ctrl-F? And, also...

Can you see all see from Appmanifest.xml does it fix/reinstall any Cortana registry settings?


C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\Appxmanifest.xml

You figured out yet how to fix ESENT?

I am just wait it out until official release of Creators Update, see what happens.

Maybe I wasn't being clear.

I am trying to replace a corrupt (I think) c:\users\default folder on one machine with a good one (For sure) from another one (Not the same bit though, one 32-bit one...

Or C:\users\Administrator\
