Issue: How to Get “Missed Call Notifications” on Windows 10 Desktop?

I’ve installed Windows 10 Creators Update and decided to enable Missed Call Notification in Cortana settings. Currently, I’m using a Nokia Lumia 730, which runs Windows 8.1. I tried to enable this feature, but probably did something wrong because I haven’t received Missed Call Notifications. Could you please help me? Should both my laptop and mobile run Windows 10 to enable the new feature? Thanks!

Solved Answer

Often people consider Cortana to be a “slightly” improved Windows search. Partially, it’s true, but the word “slightly” does not fit in this case. Cortana is a virtual personal assistant that is always ready to help a PC user to find anything stored on the computer, reminds of upcoming events, allows sending emails/ texts, manage calendar, works as a navigation system, and many other features. With each new Windows 10 update and build Microsoft improves Cortana and implements with new capabilities. Starting with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (build 16199), which has been released to Windows 10 PC and Mobile Insiders on Sunday, May 21st, people will be able to see “Missed Call Notifications” on Windows 10 Desktop via Cortana. When the new feature is enabled on both PC and Mobile, the user will be able to see incoming call notifications on the desktop and decline the call if needed. Besides, the PC user will be able to write a text message using a PC and send it to the number from which the incoming call was registered. Unfortunately, the Missed Call Notification is currently available for Android phones only. However, it is expected that it won’t take long for Microsoft to adapt the feature to iPhone as well.
