Cortana Keyboard Shortcut (Windows 10)

Updated on

When you turn on "Cortana" mode, Cortana will respond when you say the wake word. The wake word can also be toggled with the Win+C keys. Here is how to turn that option on:

  • Open Settings in Windows 10
  • Go to Cortana
  • Click on Talk to Cortana
  • In the menu on the right, look for Let Cortana to listen for my voice commands when I press the Windows logo key + C under the section Keyboard shortcut.
  • Toggle the button "On"
  • When enabled, pressing the Win + C keys will activate Cortana's listening mode.
