The new experience is more conversational and is wildly different from Cortana in Windows 10 now. Recent leaks have shown that the new Cortana experience will be identical to how Cortana on mobile works. Microsoft splitting up Cortana from Windows 10 means the company will be able to upgrade Cortana more frequently, and it also gives PC makers with the freedom to use other assistants like Alexa as the default on their device instead of Cortana. Right now, a listing for the new Cortana beta app has showed up on the Microsoft Store, though you can’t install it just yet. That means you will soon be able to install Cortana as any other Windows 10 app from the Microsoft Store. And now, Microsoft is turning Cortana into an independent, standalone app, completely separate from Windows 10. The splitting up of Cortana in Windows 10 first started when Microsoft split up Cortana from Windows Search in the Windows Update.


The new Cortana app will introduce a new experience for the personal assistant in Windows 10 - but more importantly, it will change how Microsoft delivers Cortana to Windows 10 users. Microsoft is working on a new Cortana app internally.
