Microsoft introduced Cortana a while ago and Cortana has been a huge success. It's your cloud-based personal assistant that simplifies search tasks. Cortana is available in select regions and provides a wide range of services that can also be customized. Even if Cortana is not available for your region, can still search files and other things.
In some cases, Cortana stops working. This can be due to many things, but the most common reason is corrupt system files and components. In cases where Cortana suddenly stops working, you can re-register or reinstall Cortana very easily. This usually solves the problems with Cortana.
