Cortana can't connect to Internet in Windows 10

I'm having some trouble with Cortana. Starting this morning (it was working great until then), I can't get Cortana to do nearly anything because she can't connect to the Internet. I don't think I've changed any settings that would cause this. Can anybody out there give me some insight on why this is happening and how to fix it?

I had the same issue and found that Cortana and the internet would start "talking" again by closing her process (SearchUI.exe). After a moment, the process will restart and she should be fine...for now. This is not a permanent solution as the issue occasionally happens again. Hope this helps.

Okay, I figured it out. I had to go into my account settings and log in with a local account instead of my microsoft account. After doing this, Cortana works exactly as intended and all is smooth sailing.
