Cortana stands out in this review for a radical change in the interface with the adoption of Fluent Design, but also with some other small surprise. The fact is that if you want to activate this new Cortana design, assuming that you are a user of the Insider Program, these are the steps you must follow. Some steps that we recommend to carry out with caution, firstly because we are going to access the system registry (be careful what you touch) and secondly because it is a version still under development that may present bugs and performance problems:

"
• The first step is to access Reggedit for which you can choose to use the Win + R command, or use the search bar typing regedit"
"
• Once inside, look for the line HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\Flighting\. "
• "

  In this line you must click on the folder Flighting and select the option New > Password writing in the box Override."
• "

  In the new key that we have created you must click with the right mouse button or trackpad and create a new DWORD value (32 bits)to which you should name ImmersiveSearch (without the quotes) with a hexadecimal value of 1."

• We accept and restart our team.

If everything went well, you should access Cortana's new design and if so and you have dared to make the change, You can leave us your impressions about it, either commenting on the design and appearance or operation.
