10061 - Cortana not available (despite being in UK)

Hi All,
After some pain, I managed to get 10061 to install from 10049.  I am based in the UK and working on an i7 SP3.
The install hasn't worked as well as I'd hoped - Cortana is now region restricted to the US.  I am in the UK and when I installed it was no longer active, despite being active in 10049 before-hand. 
If I switch the region to the US (plus number formats etc etc - there are a couple of settings) it suddenly activates.  If I change back to UK, Cortana disappears and I get the message "I am afraid I am not available in your region".
It's meant to be available and the US region restriction was extended to multiple regions a while back.
Any thoughts? - would trundle along with US as my region, but that mucks up all my dates and excel!

Hi，
Have you tried to refer to this guide (reply posted by John Rubdy) to configure the settings to make cortana working?

  • Pre-order not available despite being released????

    I pre-ordered the new slipknot album via iTunes Plus yesterday (day before release). I got to download Psychosocial as it had already been released.
    It asked me if I wanted auto-download - I said yes...
    Now the album has been released and the link I've been given in my iTunes account goes nowhere...
    'item you've requested not currently available'
    and download purchased songs doesn't work either...
    how do I get the pre-ordered version (which apparently had extra tracks - can't check now as it's gone!)... or do I just download the normal one?

    Open the iTunes app > More > Purchased > Music
    Check your Automatic Download settings here:

  • Cortana -not available in your region (Canada)

    So I just updated my preview to the latest and greatest, and it seems Cortana is not available in my region.
    Can't find any articles to indicate that Canada does not have access to Cortana.... tried playing with the regions but I'm assuming its smart enough to use my outlook.com info.
    Anyone shed some light on this?
    Thanks,

  • Cortana not available in your region?

    What happens if you switch country to US?

    My laptop which is running actionpack edition of 10 enterprise is saying I'm unable to use Cortana in my location, despite me being from the UK, with it set to use English (UK)
    All of which are supported according to Microsoft.
    I doubt I'm ever going to use it but I can find bugger all info on why its not working and its annoying me!
    I'm wondering if it's because im using actionpack but then, whats the point of making software available for testing if you're going to lock areas of it out?

  • Song is not authorized despite being purchased in iTunes store

    i have a number of songs that i purchased which are not authorized to play on my computer despite its being authorized.  i have followed the posted fixes on the support site but no dice. any ideas?

    I can confirm, both of my AppleTV legacies running 3.0.2 needed to make a new purchase to authorize purchases made from iTunes directly.  My AppleTV 2 does not have this problem.  It appears a patch is needed for the legacy AppleTVs to properly authorize with the new iCloud infrastructure.  The work around is to make new purchases from your AppleTV legacy, and sync back to iTunes.

  • Cortana not available on lumia920 in the UK

    Having finally got the Lumia Cyan update to Windows 8.1  Version 8.10.12393.890
    Now if I change my settings (keyboard, language and region)  to US, reboot the phone and Cortana is listed under Applications.
    If I change it all back to English (keyboard and labguage) and UK (region), reboot my phone again, Cortana has disappeared from the list!
    I've found online plenty of people who can't get Cortana, but they're in a Country where it isn't yet available.  But I'm in the UK so should be able to, OR is this a known issue?  Or is there something else I'm missing?
    Any help would be most gratefully received.

    I believe it is still in Beta form in the UK, so it might still be only available to developer preview programmes. This news article has some information:

  • Battery not charging despite being reported as good and as charging

    Hi,
    I have an X220 Tablet that's about 3 and a half years old -- so unfortunately just out of warranty -- and I'm having battery/charging problems. A few months ago the original 6-cell battery that came with the laptop died: Power Manager reported it as dead and needing replacing. It had had 500-something cycles, so it seemed reasonable. I went ahead and bought a new 6-cell battery from Lenovo, the 67+, and then my system was fine again. But one day a few weeks ago this battery suddenly stopped charging. Power Manager reported that "The battery is in good condition", and it was reported as "Status: Charging", but it was not actually charging and was instead very slowly discharging its way to 0%. Something suspicious is perhaps that PM reported "Current: 0.00 A".
    I thought it might be the battery, so I got another one, but that has exactly the same issue -- now I have two batteries, each discharged completely and with no way to charge them.
    Charging doesn't happen regardless of whether the computer is on or off, or whether I'm in Windows (7) or Linux.
    I checked the AC adapter/charger with a multimeter and it is reporting 20V as it's supposed to, so I guess that's okay. Plus, the laptop runs fine on just the AC adapter, even if it's a little bit slower (which I gather is due to it being 65W rather than 90W).
    The only slightly unusual thing I can remember from the day charging stopped functioning is that I was using the 'always on' USB port to charge my phone. But I've done that many times and never had a problem, and I've tried changing the settings for that both through Windows and the BIOS.
    So, what gives? How can I diagnose what the actual problem is? Should I check the pins that the battery slots into under the computer when the AC adapter is in? Any other ideas?
    It would be a great shame if this machine stopped functioning as a laptop just because it's not charging the batteries.
    Most grateful for any help!

    It is hard for me to be certain without seeing it, and Sweden is a long way from San Francisco. The symptom point to a blown fuse or power transistor (mosfet). Either can cause your problem, and usually require motherboard replacement. If nothing was going on when the problem started, (no power failure, lightning storm, failure of power adapter, tripping over the cord) I would guess mosfet. Some shops can repair fuses, but they require fairly good soldering equipment. I have had much poorer luck fixing mosfets, because usually, more than one chip is bad. You might be able to find a motherboard for a reasonable price. I have one for sale on eBay for under $100, but international shipping is expensive and you might do better locally.

  • Silverlight app in Lync CWE fails with "Client not trusted", despite being added to trusted sites

    We're trying to get a silverlight app up and running in a Lync 2013 CWE. We have a Lync 2010 server on it's own domain, which is not the same domain as the 2013 client machine. Clients on the different domains communicate perfectly.
    The silverlight app is hosted on our own webserver, which is in the same domain as the 2013 client machine. We tried hosting it on the other domain, with the same result.
    YES, we've added the domain to our trusted sites in registry, but still we get the exception.
    The line that fails:
     _conversation = (Conversation)LyncClient.GetHostingConversation();
    How to get the app to work in our client?

    Please check “How to: Install a CWE application in Lync SDK” at

    I am unable to charge my MBPro. It is plugged in, but the L-type connector is not lighting up and seems loose......the computer is approx 1 1/2 yrs old...

    I don't think it is the charger, as this is the 2nd time this has occurred within the last 1 1/2 yrs........we changed the charger already and it was only temporary solution....

  • Easy-webprint ex: toolbar not appearing despite being "ticked"

    I run Windows 7 64 bit and use Internet Explorer 9. Printer is MG8250  
    Some weeks ago I downloaded Easy-webprint EX version 1.3.5.0 and it worked fine. I could get the toolbar to appear or disappear in the normal way ie via View/Toolbars then ticking or unticking its entry on the list.
    Today I decided to use it for the first time in several weeks. I went through the normal process to make the toolbar appear so that I could use the software but ticking it had no effect, or at least no effect that was visible on the screen.
    I then tried re-downloading the software but the situation remained the same ie I can't get the toolbar to appear.
    Any ideas why the toolbar is not appearing?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have managed to make the toolbar appear by doing the following:
    - removed (unticked) the Google toolbar and the Easy-web toolbar appeared magically in its place.
    - re-installed (ticked) the Google toolbar and it appeared in addition to the Easy-web toolbar
    I can now happily hide/display the Easy-web toolbar without any need to remove the Google toolbar.
    I've still no idea why i had this problem in the first place but all seems to be fine now

    HELP!
    i cannot get wi-fi on my iphone - says no wi-fi and is not highlighted despite wireless networks being available

    Hi, my iPhone 4S had a similar problem in February 2011, after several attempts to revive it, and nothing has worked, as I was traveling to the U.S. in May, and was still under warranty at no cost to me changed.
    But now a year later the new phone looks similar to make a software upgrade problem. The WiFi only works to no more than 2 meters from the antenna WiFi, then away more disconnects, not a router problem as all other wireless devices will work fine as ever. What happened? my phone will have lost its antenna gain?. I live in Argentina there is no Apple Store here, I do not travel to the U.S., from what I saw on the website of apple change the phone for an equal (which will surely have the same problem) miss u $ s 200. I am really disillusioned with Iphone. I think it must have been damaged wifi antenna that receives wifi signal but low sensitivity or a lot, will this model of Iphone has a general problem with any batch of antennas?, because I happened on 2 different phones

  • TS3297 iTunes store says: "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."

    I'm trying to purchase an album via iTunes and I keep getting the message:
    "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."
    What does that mean? Why is it listed in the store if it's not available? When will it be available?
    iTunes 10.7.0.21
    Thanks.

    It means it's being modified, try again later.
    Sorry, but which part of that do you not understand?
    Perhaps they're changing the price, so while they are doing that, you cannot buy it. It'll save you moaning later that you bought it and then the price went down. Or perhaps they've found that the album is faulty and so it has been removed until they can upload a non-faulty version. In either case, it will be available when Apple are ready to make it available. No one here knows when that will be.
    Wait 24 hours and try again. If no luck, wait another 24 hours and try again. Obviously, Apple would prefer you to buy the song from them, so that's why it's still listed. But it's up to you how long you wait before deciding that you've waited long enough and you simply buy the album from another store. You have that choice, it's not compulsory to buy from Apple you know.
