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.

    Guys instead of Cortana you can download The Alexa app from the Microsoft store...

    Here's the link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/alexa/9n12z3cctcnz?SilentAuth=1&wa=wsignin1.0&activetab=pivot:overviewtab

    And after you've downloaded the Alexa app, follow the steps below to link Spotify to Alexa.

    • Go to Amazon Alexa
    • Click Music, video, and books.
    • Scroll down until you see Spotify
    • Click Spotify and click enable
    • You will be asked to enter your Spotify credentials.
    • Then scroll down and click Agree.
    • There..! You're done!😄
    • Go here if you want to set your default player as Spotify.

    Hope this helps....😀😀!

    If cortana cannot be used to interface/control apps on a windows 10 computer it has no place either at home or in the enterprise.

    To clarify Cortana should be able, as the first draft was, to start an application passing parameters.

    That is what it used to do when you told it to play a mp3 file.

    It wasn't until much later that Iheartradio and spotify came into the equation and local music playing was lost.

    Cortana should be able to open word with word documents, excel with excel documents and either media player, groove or movies/tv  with media documents (playlists or other multimedia files).

    The developers have blinders on and are completely missing the mark on this, just as windows as a service has completely missed its mark.

    Even settings are not the same on two comparable workstations because windows builds the settings based on the hardware it finds and it seldom does it correctly.   Heaven help location services and maps for instance.

    Were I still in IT and not retired windows would not be my operating system of choice.

    When does corporation ever announce their failed products?

    They don't. They just announce their new products. And the new Cortana is purely enterprise.
