Cortana is definitely one of the most notable, if not the most notable addition of Windows 10. We all know that we can control it with a lot of commands, but I’m sure you can’t think of all commands in the moment, and there are some commands you didn’t even know you can use. So, I wrote this article in order to show you all commands used for interacting with Cortana.To even start interacting with Cortana, you have to say “Hey Cortana” (you can also click on the search bar, but we’re talking about the voice commands here). The virtual assistant will open, and you can give it the desired command. And the variety of commands is really huge, as I said, you probably don’t even know all the commands, so if you want to get the most of Cortana, check out all available commands below.
All Commands And Questions You Can Ask Cortana in Windows 10
Organize your stuff with Cortana
As its title says, Cortana is your personal assistant, which means you can use it tasks real assistants do, like setting up reminders, sending emails, etc. Here are the commands you can use to turn Cortana into a very reliable assistant:
Search online and get information
Cortana is also a great tool for searching online for a certain information or certain websites. Logically, it uses Bing as a search engine, but you can change it with a simple trick. If you want to get almost any information you want, just ask:
Have fun with Cortana
Besides making Cortana do all the work for you, or search for everything you need, you can also spend some time playing with it. Ask Cortana various ‘personal’ questions, and it will give you interesting, often humorous answers.
Make small talk with Cortana, like you do to your family in the morning, during the day, or in the evening:
Ask some simple, but serious questions:
Or have a little pop-culture chat:
Pour some personal comments to Cortana, give her a compliment, or insult her, you’ll get the funny replay either way:
Discuss about the competition, or Microsoft, because Cortana has its own point of view on various companies:
And finally, ask her some questions about Halo, and you’ll get only superlatives:
As you can see, you can talk to Cortana about various stuff, and it could be very helpful and productive, as well. Microsoft’s decision to include Cortana in Windows 10 is definitely a good move, and it brought using a PC to a whole another level.
If you know some Cortana command that we didn’t include in this post, please write it down in the comments, in order to help our readers use Cortana for even more amazing things or ask her even more interesting questions.
