Activate Cortana voice command shortcut on Windows 10
- Note: * The Cortana shortcut in this article will help this virtual assistant always listen to user commands. This shortcut is different from the Cortana shortcut used to activate and open Cortana. Because with the Cortana open shortcut, users will have to take an additional step to command Cortana, which is to click on the microphone icon. * The Cortana shortcut for this virtual assistant to always listen to commands is only available on the Windows 10 Creators Update version. Therefore, as of now, users cannot experience this function. The simplest way to experience the Cortana voice command shortcut is to join the Windows Insider Preview program and wait for Microsoft to officially release the Windows 10 Creator Update.
The specific steps to activate the Cortana voice command shortcut are as follows:
Step 1: First, you need to activate Cortana on Windows 10. Mytour has introduced you to quite a few ways to activate Cortana on Windows 10, including activating the circle icon and then pressing the microphone icon or using the Windows + S or Windows + Q shortcut to open Cortana.
Readers can choose one of two ways to quickly activate Cortana.
Step 2: Click on the Settings icon at the bottom corner of the Cortana screen. Then scroll down and select Keyboard shortcut.
Activate this function by sliding the button from Off to On.
Step 3: From now on, when you press the Windows + C key combination, the virtual assistant Cortana will be automatically activated and start listening to user commands immediately.
Cortana is a friendly and efficient virtual assistant for Win 10 users. Users who know English (Cortana currently only supports English) can use Cortana to perform many tasks on Win 10 quickly and easily without touching the keyboard, simply by turning on Cortana on Win 10 using the icon or shortcut key.
Although Cortana is an intelligent virtual assistant, using Cortana can be a bit complicated for new users and those not proficient in English (at the current time), not to mention some common Cortana errors such as not activating the default English language for commands. However, in the future, Microsoft promises to improve the usability of Cortana and there will also be no more Cortana errors as Microsoft will support more new languages. And to update the feature of turning on Cortana by voice, you should wait for the next Win 10 updates provided by Microsoft. The quickest way to update Win 10 is through Microsoft's integrated Windows Update tool in the Settings of Windows 10.
Wishing you success!
