Cortana can now be used to find and open local files on your Windows 10 PC.
Microsoft is breathing new life into its digital assistant Cortana in a new build of Windows 10 which is now available for download by Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. Since being released on Windows 10 in 2015, Cortana has allowed users to search the web, track flights, set reminders and more. While Microsoft’s digital assistant used to reside in the taskbar, it became a separate app with the release of the company’s Windows 10 May 2020 Update. At the time, users were also given the ability to stop Cortana from running at startup or to turn it off entirely. However, with the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20270, Windows 10 users may want to consider giving it another try as Microsoft has added a File Skill to Cortana that allows you to quickly find and open files using its digital assistant.
