I am using the latest version of Windows which is Windows 10 2004.

Cortana is updated to the latest version

When i give command to cortana "Play any song"

Cortana replies "Sorry, I can't control your music here."

Please anyone help me with this.

    New computer that is fully updated.  On my old computer I could say, "Hey Cortana, turn down volume." and cortane would turn down the computers master volume.  When I try that now she says, "I'm sorry, I can't control your music."  ****?  Is this a bug?

    That is the problem with windows as a service.  Functions that worked when it was first distributed quit working and are never fixed.   As pieces of windows are moved around, like cortana, microsoft uses it as an excuse for providing basically beta code with less functionality.  Compare photos with photo gallery, groove with windows media player, skype with lync.   every new product looks fancy and doesn't function.  

    Hell, even the people/my people function has been broken for over a year, a very simple logic error and instead of fixing it microsoft develops the Your Phone application which breaks people even more.

    Cortana is useless. will be until microsoft can get at least location services fixed.  But again some strategy designed to make windows tailor itself to the hardware it's  running on defeats them.  My desktop and surface tablet both have the same software but both have completely different options with both running in desktop mode.   ridiculous.  if there was a viable alternative I'd be running it..

    Cortana is now an enterprise tool, not a consumer tool.
