    Cortana will not turn xbox on recently. Other voice commands work normally.


    Cortana has recently stopped being able to turn my xbox on. For years I have been able to use voice commands with my Kinect to turn the console on and in the last month or two Cortana will not turn on. Other voice commands work normally though. Anyone
    have any advice on how to fix this?

    :)

    Xbox One/Cortana update doesn't work

    Cortana voice control was automatically updated this week on my Xbox One console. Voice commands quit as soon as I accepted the updates. I reset the console and Kinect (Settings, Kinect does not hear me), neither worked to activate voice commands on Xbox
    One. I went online to search for solutions. One given was to turn off Cortana. I cannot turn it off using my controller or Xbox Glass. The batteries are new in the controller and all other functions work perfectly. What do I do now?

    Cortina does not work in Canada yet. So no command via voice turns the unit off. Xbox on still works but it will no longer shuts the box down. Have to use controller or power on unit. Defeats the voice command and the kinesthetic not 100% working.
    Microsoft please get Canada in the region for Cortana sooner than later.

    Hi there!

    By chance if your console enroller in the preview program?

    If it is let's be sure to have you post a description of the issue in the
    Insider forums
    so they can begin investigating.

    If the console is not part of the program let's have you follow all of the steps on the

    Voice commands troubleshooter.


    If you run into the same issues, be sure to
    factory reset the console
    and select "keep my games and apps".

    Post back and let us know how that goes!

    Turning off voice commands completely

    Voice commands will only work if you have a kinect or a headset. Cortana has to be turned on first before you use her voice commands, and if you do not have a kinect, then the Xbox voice commands will not be turned on.

    Is there any timetable as to when Microsoft is reintroducing working voice control?

    Hi

    If you go into the settings section and disable Cortana the console will switch back to the legacy Xbox voice commands.

    support.xbox.com/.../cortana-voice-commands

    "Revert to Xbox commands

    If, for whatever reason, Cortana isn’t what you want, you have the option to go back to the original voice control model using the "Xbox" command. When you switch, here’s what you’ll lose:

    Headset voice control

    Expanded commands and voice recognition

    Voice-to-text input (dictation)

    You can bring back Cortana at any time.

    To revert to the original voice control model:

    Double-tap the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Settings > All settings.

    Select System > Cortana settings.

    In the snapped window on the right, highlight the On switch, and press the A button to turn it to Off."

    Kinect voice commands will not work since cortina installed.

    Hey, so Cortana works a bit differently than the old voice commands, they no longer work. With everything you do with her start out the command with "Hey, Cortana" It's kinda like talking to siri. Just make sure she's turned on in the settings first.

    Astro A50 Mic no longer working after March System update

    This fixes the mic symbol.

    First make sure your Headset is updated to the most recent firmware using the astro command center.

    Next make sure your Headset is assigned to your profile under Kinect & Devices / Devices & Accessories. - This fixes Cortana commands and voice to text.

    Next disable Cortana then re enable Cortana it will make you restart your Xbox both times.

    That should work.

    I have an A50 and just figured it out this evening, cortana is working great and voice to text is great too.
