Cortana integration Issue

Good evening, today I'm trying Cortana Intergration with Power BI Service. And i think I've done all necessary setting up but Cortana doesn't show me any result on my PC.   Hope someone of you can...

I found another issue. I have not been able to entirely replicate it: The service seems to work on my phone intermittingly. Entering the sames search term on my Lumia 830 suggests sometimes a query from Power BI, sometime it does not. On my surface Pro the same thing keeps happening. My suspicion is that this has to do with Cortana indexing the personal content in the cloud. Whenever I have the issue that Power BI does not appear in Cortana, I see under "My Stuff" that "Results may be incomplete while we are still indexing your stuff". It is not the other way around though, "Still indexing my stuff" does not mean that Cortana does not work.

In saw in other posts, that they suggest logging out and back into Office 365. I am not sure that this is the answer. It seems that patience actually works too.

One more note: During the Data Insight Summit was a talk on Cortana,

It was stated that there is a little bug in Windows. In case that you log on to windows, while there is no connectivity to the internet, Cortana does not work with PowerBI. It can delay up to 30 minutes. You can kill the Cortana Task to force the resolution earlier.

Watch the video, the issue is being talked about during the last 10 minutes or so....

    Still stuck with this issue. I found also something more: using this test page (https://app.powerbi.com/cortana/test) instead of local Cortana I'm able to reach the reports. So I believe in a local setting problem...

     

    Enyone else with this issue?

    Enyone able to support me?

     

    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for the link.  I managed to get it working after stepping through the Windows 10 Cortana setup.  I put a postfix 'Power BI' on my query and it pulled up the model correctly.  I did test the Cortana test app first.

     can someone confirm that this testpage is still working? (https://app.powerbi.com/cortana/test)

    i can only see a black rectangle and on the header the blue cortana circle, any input in field "Utterance" is ignored. Also no luck to get the integration working on my local win10 desktop :(
