One of the really neat features of Cortana,Microsoft’s virtual assistant for Windows, is that she can track packages for you without you needing to enter your tracking information. She knows about all pending packages by simply reading your email from the Mail app for Windows 10. If you need help setting Mail as your default email app,be sure to read our how-to here.

When you first launch Cortana from the search button on the taskbar, she’ll ask you if you want to track a package that is currently being shipped to your location. If you click track she will notify you of the whereabouts of the package and when it is delivered.

If Cortana doesn’t ask you to track a package or she doesn’t know there is a package coming, you can just simply paste the tracking number into the search bar and then clickTrack Package. She’ll start tracking your package and notify you as it gets closer. You can also go into Cortana’s notebook located in the hamburger menu right beside of Cortana, clickPackages, enter the tracking ID number for your package, then hit enter.

It’s a very handy feature, at least to most people. Tell us what you think about Cortana’s package tracking feature in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
