Since my update to 1709, I could never get Cortana to work, especially in the search depjartment. i've done considerable research and found that I am not alone with this problem. So far for all the offers of how to correct this problem have not worked. Personally, I don't care about the 'live chat' ...all i ask for is the old search box w henever i may have to get to a certain area. As of now, I do my limited searching by doing the Window + R, E routines, which is a pain. Am I too late in starting from scratch with a new win 10, or do i have to buy it? If i am not too late, could I get at least back to the 1709 version or not?
