#How to fix cortana not working update

My guess is thatВ this should be fixed when Microsoft pushes a fix for this via update within a month or two. A majority of people have reverted back to their previous version of Windows because of this issue and the Microsoft is still unable to find the reasons causing this.

Creating a new account or using different accounts on Windows has failed properly and the error still persists. People have tried a number of methods to get rid of this error message. I uninstalled Avast and no error since, however my PC seems to be in trouble now, the mouse (arrow) icon has a constant flickering loading circle around it.it won't go away, also my chrome title bar is flickering and I can't even perform a single function by left-clicking anywhere and choosing an option, opening my history for example!! :unhappy:ДЄfter I uninstalled Avast, I got an error which went away too fast but eneded with 00000000.This critical error message insists the users to bang their heads on the wall as they cannot use their PCs properly. LiamHughessThanks a bunch for this, I couldn't get my laptop to start without getting the 'cortana.' error for two days!! It did bug me once or twice before but would fix itself afterI signed out and in again.but not this time. Hope this can help some people! it was hella frustrating trying to fix this! I also posted this response on the Microsoft forum: 'Windows 10 Critical error fix, Start menu and cortana not working' bug when logging in with MSA?' Now just do the normal thing to uninstall avast and then reboot following the installation and it should be fixed! Once it restarts, press the F4 key, and when it restarts you will be in safe mode. Then click troubleshoot, advanced options, start-up settings, restart. Before you click 'restart', hold down the shift key until the next screen is displayed (blue).

Incase you arent familiar with how to access safe mode on windows 10, heres how: You press ctrl+alt+delete, and in the bottom right hand corner you click the power button.

Now I'm sure you all know how to uninstall software on your PCs but it may not work in normal mode with the critical error as it didn't with me. I uninstalled the software and upon reboot my start button and cortana were working perfectly again. Do those dealing with this problem have avast antivirus installed? If so, I believe that is what is causing the 'critical error'.

Is this something that an update will fix and should I sit and wait.? I think I might just give up soon as my stress levels are already too high. And I'm not sure what Cortana is but she doesn't appear anywhere on my machine. Is this a Microsoft problem or is it just me. I am not a computer techie and I feel that all these workarounds that are all over the place will just get me deeper in the mire. I do not have Avast whatever that is although I have Norton 360 and Malware bytes. Now it brings up the edge screen and tells me I can't go to the link (Typical example the link from the forum). Using an email link from outlook used to work. The edge button brings up a blue screen which does nothing. Quick flash of the rotating blue wait thing then nothing. Clicking on it should bring up the apps and manager. Now suddenly I have lost the windows (bottom left). I finally sorted this by resetting permissions. Outlook kept telling me I didn't have permissions. First I lost access to loads of stuff in folders. I've wasted more time than you can imagine.
