I did! but for some reasons it still wont work, is there a other way?
You'll have to rename it exactly as before, you may have to check a few friends systems to see if the file name is the same on each system (should be).

It may be something like Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy

You'll have to ask the Britec community for their version of the file name to compare if they're all the same.

Incidentally, I do not use Windows 10 so don't take my file name post above as being The One.

Cortana file is located in : C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.
Windows 10 Cortana folder name should be:

Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy
Still not working :/
You may need to do a refresh or windows 10. Have you tried running sfc /scannow

Also you can try this fix

1. Open Command Prompt
Type: powershell



2. Type: 
Code:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest­.xml"}


3. Type:
Code:
Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest­.xml" -verbose }
YES! IT WORKED...Thanks! Big Grin
have yourself a happy Cortana Christmas

and a happy new year Smile
