At long last, my Surface Pro 7 has received the update to Win 10 Version 20 04.
My other computers received it weeks ago.
AND, as expected, my last fully functional Cortana is gone and I have the new “regressed” Cortana.
Also, Cortana is now a store App and no longer appears in “All Settings”.
New “regressed” Cortana is like a petulant teenager – Ask her to open Excel and you get told “Sorry, I can’t help with that”. I suppose that I should be grateful that she at least says “sorry” and she can still tell me the time and temperature in London.
FYI in London it is 6 am – Temperature is 18c – Mostly Clear ( 23c to 17c) – SUMMER
Here in South East Queensland it is 3 pm – Temperature 22c – Sunny (22c – 15c) – (our brutal) WINTER
Interesting I am sure – but I would prefer a Cortana that opens an App when asked – and, almost forgot – Cortana no longer responds to “Hey Cortana”. You have to open the App and click on the microphone icon to talk to her.
