URI string to launch Cortana in Listening + Full screen mode

It is possible to launch Cortana from UWP using the Launcher.LaunchUriAsync() method, using the invocation URIs, as detailed here .

Cortana also has a full screen mode which is activated when there in user input for 10+ seconds. In that case, "Hey Cortana" opens cortana in full screen on the primary display. Is there any Cortana invocation URIs to start Cortana from UWP in full screen always?

Solution

  • Cortana does support a few "deep linking" capabilities. You need a registered protocol handler installed (that is the case for W10 desktop by default.)

    However controlling screen mode isn't one of them.

    Feel free to add a suggestion for this via feedback hub.
