How do you use Cortana through the lock screen in Windows 10

H

Windows 10 brings with it a lot of features, and Cortana is one of the most interesting. Cortana is a program that behaves like a digital assistant that can help you interact in a natural way with your Windows 10 device. For this reason, and because Microsoft refers to Cortana as a “she”, we will do the same. You can tell Cortana to do things like opening applications, taking notes, remembering when you have a meeting, telling you how the weather is, or whether she likes Siri or not. These are just a few things Cortana can do for you.

After you’ve activated Cortana on the lock screen, all you have to do is to say “Hey Cortana” while your PC or your device is locked and tell her what you want to know or what you want her to do. You can ask what the weather is like, for example or ask her to put some music.

You can ask her to remind you something. But it is one of those things you can do if you give Cortana access to “calendar, email, messages, and power BI data when the device is locked”.

At the end, if you set the background for the lock screen to be an image or an image presentation, Cortana might also show you various tips and information from time to time. Such as the following: “Try saying, ‘Hey, Cortana, remind me to water the plants when I get home.'”

That was all! Cortana is ready to do whatever you ask right now, even if your PC or device is blocked. Good luck!
