I want Cortana back on Xbox one i wanted Cortana back on Xbox one

I went into settings and changed it back to 'xbox' instead of 'hey cortana' as soon as it got changed to cortana. it still works as well as it always did, which was never great. microsoft won't admit to abandoning cortana. but they certainly abandoned
Kinect. as of September 2018, there is amazon alexa integration with xbox. which should give you an idea how invested microsoft is or isn't in cortana on xbox. I don't have an xbox one S, but I don't even think it has cortana.

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."

Hey Vandeetz! Do you notice an improvement if you switch back to the Xbox commands? Steps on how to do that can be found
here. Post back and let me know how it goes!

i switched to Xbox instead of Cortana and so far is been better. I don't know how often the Xbox voice assistant uses the internet to verify info. But just as usual the Cortana version is superior in terms of understanding me but Xbox is much quicker to
accept commands than Cortana.

So if its just Cortana and my internet and regular Xbox assistant work fine what can I do? I'd rather use Cortana but its unusable at this point

Cortana uses internet to search for anything you ask that it might need the internet to find. Things like sports scores, weather information and other searches. You can find more about the recommended network stats for Xbox Live

HERE. You'll want to ensure that you meet the recommended speeds for a good experience on Xbox Live and with Cortana.

What would Cortana bring to the Xbox One, I can use it using voice already and I really dont want it answering me back. if they junked avatars all together I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

I specifically said I turned off Cortana because it doesn't work at all, if you turn on Cortana and say, "Hey Cortana Select" while in Netflix it does absolutely nothing. If you say "Hey Cortana Next List" it chooses to Google Next List rather than go to
the next list. I want to go back to the built in Xbox voice commands that used to work, but after disabling Cortana, they only partially work. How do I get that feature to work again?
