The issue was that my Microsoft account was not completely set up... after trying to log out of non-local and back in... it worked

Hi! I'm in the US (saw that location may effect this), but Cortana still doesn't "talk to the internet". Is that something that I haven't set up yet? I created and linked a Microsoft account.... Kind of having suspicions that it's because a said no to Microsoft recording my data.... :| Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks! (btw, I saw that someone unplugged their router and plugged back in... tried that... no result)

Cortana most likely won't recognise any 'hello' or other sound commands if you are using a system with a pretty budget webcam mic. It warns you during setup too

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

I have a cheap studio mic. That's not the problem. It'll pick up everything I say. However, it's not connected and won't do anything other than tell me so.

I don't think it is an issue with sound... it must be an issue with internet or other connections... voice detection is functioning.
