How to get Cortana on the Windows 10 (Anniversary Update) lock screen
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update brings many new features and changes. Cortana is one of the features that Microsoft is making some of the biggest improvements to. In addition to improvements in notifications and better communication, Cortana is also coming to the lock screen, as a blurry overlay in the background.
Cortana on the lock screen is a new feature that the software giant is introducing to help you perform certain tasks like playing music, setting reminders, taking notes to yourself, and more, even when your PC is locked. However, "Hey Cortana" on the lock screen is not part of the feature set of the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14316, but it is built into the operating system.
If you want to try out Cortana on the lock screen, you can make a simple change in the registry to make it work. The only caveat is that the feature is currently a bit buggy and slow, so it may not work as expected. This could be one of the reasons why Microsoft hasn't enabled the feature yet.
