Cortana
With Windows 10, Microsoft brings its personal digital assistant, Cortana, to the desktop.
Cortana has made great strides in the released version of Windows 10 compared with the preview versions.
Reminders
Reminders in Cortana can be based not only on time, but also on place. That is, you can tell her to remind you to do something when you've arrived at a specified location.
Package Tracking
Package tracking in Cortana is very much like flight tracking in that you need to have these conditions met for the personal assistant to track your items automatically.
If the above steps do not work, or you have a different setup, you can still manually make Cortana track a package. Here is how.
Manually track packages in Cortana
1. Copy your package tracking number (Ctrl + C)
2. Paste info and track
Now that you have enabled package tracking or manually inserted a number Cortana keeps you updated on its status.
Every time you open Cortana whether it is on the PC or phone you will see a new card. The Cortana card provides the following information:

Stock Profiles
Besides, Microsoft has updated its voice-based virtual assistant Cortana to include detailed stock profiles, with prices, charts, and other information.
Travel
As soon as you get your flight schedule in the email, Cortana takes note of it and asks you if you need help in tracking the trip. If the answer is yes, the personal assistant will note the flight details in the Notebook and will help you to find all the relevant details about the trip from a single dashboard. You can also ask Cortana to show your flights information by saying “show me my flights” or “show me my trips”.
It gets even better. Just one day before the flight, Cortana will let you know when the check-ins will open as well as the weather information related to your destination, along with a five-day forecast so you could pack relevant stuff for your trip.
