I'm having some trouble with Cortana. Starting this morning (it was working great until then), I can't get Cortana to do nearly anything because she can't connect to the Internet. I don't think I've changed any settings that would cause this. Can anybody out there give me some insight on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Okay, I figured it out. I had to go into my account settings and log in with a local account instead of my microsoft account. After doing this, Cortana works exactly as intended and all is smooth sailing.

I had the same issue and found that Cortana and the internet would start "talking" again by closing her process (SearchUI.exe). After a moment, the process will restart and she should be fine...for now. This is not a permanent solution as the issue occasionally happens again. Hope this helps.

Interesting. That process doesn't start for me, and when I attempt to manually start it, it closes itself after just a short moment. That could very well be what's causing the problem with Cortana, but now I need to know what's causing the problem with SearchUI! – BammaHamma – 2015-08-04T04:11:28.557
Have you verified the internet connection is on and you can surf the internet when using a web-browser? Are you getting any error messages? – Shimmy – 2015-08-02T00:29:32.267
1Yes, Internet connection works fine except on Cortana. The only thing I get from her is stuff like "the Internet and I aren't talking right now," and other generic messages. – BammaHamma – 2015-08-02T15:51:00.433
