Setting Tasks with Cortana
As you can see, Cortana really is more than a glorified search tool. She is meant to be a personal digital assistant. She can help you with scheduling, research, and more—just like a human assistant might. You can ask Cortana to schedule tasks, create invitations, and more.
Click in the Search box or say, “Hey Cortana!” to let the tool know you have a request.
Speak the tasks you want Cortana to perform, such as, “Wake me up in 15 minutes.”
Cortana answers your request telling you what action she has taken.
You can edit the task created by clicking or tapping it.
Click or tap the slider to turn the alarm off.
Edit alarm settings by clicking or tapping the alarm.
Tap and hold the alarm to display a delete option; tap Delete to remove it.

Cortana on the Lock screen gives you a number of rotating suggestions for the types of commands or questions you might want to offer. Also be sure to keep Cortana Tips turned on (you can set this in Cortana Settings and also in Cortana Tips in the Notebook) so you continue to get ideas on how to improve and expand the way you work with your personal digital assistant.
