Windows 10 introduced a variety of features including the famous Cortana Voice Assistant for Windows 10 Desktop users. Cortana is a voice assisted computer assistant that allows you to interact with your computer in a rather smart way, using your voice. Cortana can be used to set up reminders on your computer or set up an alarm at a specific time or even perform a simple internet search for a term. When I heard about Cortana, I was very excited to try it out. But to my surprise, when I booted my Windows 10 computer, I was welcomed with such a message from Cortana.
