Though it’s sure to be turned off by some over privacy concerns, should you enable Cortana’s history permissions so the virtual assitant can get access to your email, contacts, and other communication history data, it can then really put the “assistant” in “virtual assitant” and remind you of things that needed to get done based on the data in your emails.

When Cortana can read your emails and contacts et cetera and help you get organized for future plans and help remind you about deadlines, it’s referred to as a feature called Cortana Suggested Reminders.

The following tutorial demonstrates how to turn on/off Cortana suggested reminders when using a version of the Windows 10 operating system.
