After W10 reset Cortana missing

I reset my pc because I developed a microphone problem that I couldn't solve. The pc mic volume kept returning to zero after I set it to 100% so only for a moment or so I could be heard by Cortana. I followed online support and even bought a new mic (usb) to eliminate the mic as being the problem.
After I did the pc w-10 reset I noticed that Cortana was now missing. I have been unable to find a way to download it . My Mic volume setting does not return to zero now but I'm missing Cortana. Ose

Hello Ose, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

You might see if using OPTION TWO in the tutorial below may be able to fix Cortana for you.

I tried option two but after pasting the Cortana code into the search window on my screens bottom left (next to the Win start button), It just stopped proceeding to wherever that link was going. I'm surprised that a fix to a missing Cortana is clipping and pasting code.
