cldcp00 · 08 Dec 2020

Hi

Windows Version Windows 10 Pro
I have just read an PC MAG article call
Latest Windows 10 Preview Allows Cortana to Find and Open Files.
It says you need to have version Version: 2.2011.26701.0 for this feature which I have installed.
when I try the command
'Hey Cortana, find my recent files.
It does not recognise the command and invokes a Bing Search
Could someone advise me whether my information is correct and provide any direction
Kind Regards
Desmond

Note for explanation and info: this initially seems to be an Insider feature..

The Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20270 (FE RELEASE) has just been released into the Dev Channel and it includes a new File Skill in Cortana. Basically, Microsoft implemented voice commands for dealing with files on your Windows device. There are, or course, a few prerequsites for using the skill.

But the article goes on to say:

Any Windows user can utilize this unique skill — as long as they are running the latest version of Windows 10. “Enterprise users who sign into Cortana with their corporate credentials (e.g., AAD) can search for files saved on OneDrive For Business and SharePoint along with files saved locally on their PCs (this setting is at Settings > Search > Searching Windows). Users using a Microsoft account (e.g., ending with Outlook.com or Hotmail.com) can use Cortana to find files saved on their PCs. This feature is currently available to our English-speaking users in U.S,” Microsoft said.

Could it be you are not in the US?
