[GUIDE] Fix for "Hey Cortana" training issues on W10M 10581

Hi all,

I've been trying since 10581 came out to get Hey Cortana working on my Lumia 1520 (AT&T), including: reboots, microphone privacy toggling, turning Cortana on and off. Still to no avail, I would continuously receive "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that". As infuriating as it was, I decided to go with an idea that was in the back of my head and it paid off.

Phase 1: (You'll have to reboot as instructed after each step in Phase 1)

1. In the Language settings, add English (United Kingdom).


2. In the Speech settings, add English (United Kingdom).


3. In the Region settings, choose United Kingdom.

Phase 2:

1. Open up regular Cortana. You should be greeted with a "Let's pick up from where we left off" message. Wait until a "We're all set" message appears


2. Open up Hey Cortana, and attempt training.


3. You should then have successful training.


4. Go back into the Region settings and choose United States, then reboot as it instructs you to do.


5. Go through the first 3 steps of Phase 2 and you should be complete

Hope this works for everyone who is having problems with Hey Cortana activation on 10581.
