由于它与“闹钟和时钟”(Alarms & Clock)应用集成，因此您可以使用Cortana在您的 Windows 10(Cortana)计算机或设备(computer or device)上设置计时器和闹钟。Microsoft的虚拟助手在管理您现有的警报时也很有用，可帮助您遵守日程安排而不会错过任何一个节拍。本教程向您展示如何使用Cortana访问、设置和管理您的Windows 10计时器和警报。确保(Make)Cortana正在聆听并试一试这些语音命令：
注意：(NOTE:)本指南中介绍的功能在Windows 10 November 2019 更新(Update)或更新版本中可用。如果您使用的是旧版本的Windows 10，您可能无法访问所有功能。检查您的Windows 10版本，并在必要时获取适用于您的最新Windows 10更新。
如何在Windows 10中使用(Windows 10)Cortana访问计时器和闹钟(Cortana)
作为你的虚拟助手，微软(Microsoft)的Cortana可以打开任何应用程序。要访问Windows 10中包含计时器和闹钟的应用程序“闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock)”，请确保Cortana可以听到您的声音，然后说“闹钟("alarm)”。
您也可以说“计时器”("timer")来访问该应用程序。
应用程序打开，显示您保存的闹钟和计时器。您可以手动编辑它们或继续阅读以了解如何让Cortana执行此操作。
如何在Windows 10中使用(Windows 10)Cortana设置和管理计时器(Cortana)
如果您倾向于迷失在项目中，Windows 10中的(Windows 10)计时器(Timer)是确保时间不会溜走的好方法。如果您忙于做饭、照看孩子或做其他事情，Cortana会特别方便。(Cortana)首先(First)，确保Cortana正在监听。然后，说“设置计时器("set timer)” 、“启动计时器("start timer)” 、“添加计时器("add timer)” 、“创建计时器("create timer)” 、“启用计时器("enable timer)”或“ Cortana 的计时器("Cortana's timer)”。
Cortana询问您将计时器设置为多长时间。告诉(Tell)她时间。
计时器设置为该持续时间，Cortana会在倒计时时通知您。
提示：(TIP:)单击或点击“在计时器应用程序中打开”("Open in Timer app")以访问闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock)应用程序。它会打开以显示您的计时器已展开并占据整个窗口，如果您想随时关注它，这将非常有用。
当您使用Cortana设置计时器时，您无法命名它。您只能使用Cortana创建一个名为Cortana's Timer 的计时器(Cortana's Timer)。您还可以使用一个语音命令来设置(voice command)Cortana 的计时器(Cortana's Timer)，而不是上面说明的更长的方法。最简单的方法是说“计时器("timer)”，然后说您想要的持续时间。我们说“定时器五分钟("timer five minutes)”。
如果Cortana 的计时器(Cortana's Timer)已经倒计时，任何通过语音命令(voice command)设置新计时器的尝试都会导致Cortana尝试覆盖它。将显示您为新计时器选择的值，并询问您是否要重新启动计时器。根据您的需要回答“是”("Yes")或“否” 。("No")
为避免混淆，您可以随时要求Cortana “(Cortana)检查计时器("check timer)” 、“ 显示计时器("show timer)”、“ 查看计时器("view timer)”或“还剩多少时间？” ("how much time is left?"). 她告诉你确切的剩余时间，同时显示Cortana 的计时器(Cortana's Timer)倒计时。
要停止Cortana 的计时器(Cortana's Timer)，请说“结束计时器("end timer)” 、“ 停止计时器("stop timer)” 、“ 取消计时器("cancel timer)”、“ 删除计时器("remove timer)”或“关闭计时器("turn off timer)” 。Cortana会让你知道她关闭了你的计时器。
提示：(TIP:)您可以在许多语音命令中将“计时器”("timer")一词替换为“倒计时” ，以获得相同的结果。("countdown")
Cortana 的计时器的(Cortana's Timer)行为与任何其他计时器一样。您可以在闹钟应用程序的(Alarms & Clock)计时器(Timer)选项卡中看到它倒计时并与之交互。
当您使用语音命令关闭计时器时，Cortana 的计时器也会从“(Cortana's Timer)闹钟和时钟”(Alarms & Clock)应用程序中消失。
如何在Windows 10中使用(Windows 10)Cortana设置和管理警报(Cortana)
闹钟是确保您记住日程安排的有用方法。你可以手动设置闹钟，也可以让Cortana来做。确保(Make)虚拟助手在听和说
“创建闹钟("create alarm)” 、“ 添加闹钟("add alarm)” 、“ 设置闹钟("set alarm)”或“开启闹钟("turn on alarm)”。
Cortana询问你闹钟的时间。回答(Answer)，告诉她您希望闹钟在什么时间响起。
为那个时间设置了警报，Cortana会通知你。
提示：(TIP:)除非另有说明，否则Cortana将使用您的警报的默认设置，将名称留空(name blank)。单击(Click)或点击Cortana(Cortana's)窗口中的闹钟以打开“闹钟和时钟”(Alarms & Clock)应用。它在警报(Alarms)选项卡中打开，显示已保存警报的列表，并允许您手动编辑以前创建的警报。
使用一个语音命令(voice command)创建警报更简单，无需回答来自Cortana的更多烦人问题。我们发现最容易说“警报("alarm)”，然后是警报的确切时间或直到您希望它响起的持续时间。因此，如果当前是上午 8 点，并且您想设置上午 10 点的闹钟，则可以同时使用语音命令(voice command) “闹钟 10 点”("alarm 10 AM")和“闹钟两小时”("alarm two hours")，结果相同。
由于警报主要用于唤醒人们，因此命令"wake me up at/in..."也是有效的。
提示：(TIP:)如果您未指定时间段（AM 或 PM(AM or PM)），Cortana会假定您指的是时钟第一次显示该时间的时间。因此，如果您想要早上 8 点的闹钟，只要当前时间超过晚上 8 点，您就可以简单地说“闹钟8 ("alarm 8)” 。但是，如果是晚上 7 点，则相同的语音命令(voice command)会将闹钟设置为晚上 8 点。
如果您希望闹钟重复，您只需要一个语音命令。(voice command)说“闹钟("alarm)”，然后是您希望它重复的工作日和时间。例如，对于下面的结果，我们说“星期四下午 5 点报警”("alarm Thursdays 5 PM")。
你不能为你的闹钟设置超过一个工作日，所以遗憾的是，如果你改为说“星期一和星期二” ， ("Mondays and Tuesdays")Cortana只会为(Cortana)星期二(Tuesdays)创建一个闹钟。但是，您也可以使用参数“每天”("every day")和“周末("weekends)”。
您可以使用Cortana添加任意数量的警报。要查看所有打开的警报，请告诉Cortana “(Cortana)显示警报("show alarm)” 、“ 检查警报("check alarm)”或“查看警报("view alarm)”。所有活动警报，无论是否使用Cortana设置，都会显示在Cortana 的(Cortana's)弹出窗口中。
如果您想关闭闹钟，请说“取消闹钟("cancel alarm)” 、“ 禁用闹钟("disable alarm)” 、“ 移除闹钟("remove alarm)”或“关闭闹钟("turn off alarm)”。Cortana显示您的活动警报并询问要禁用哪个警报。
回答您要删除的警报时间。我们回答“下午 2 点("2 PM)” 。Cortana(") 让(Cortana)您知道她解除了警报，因此您在时间到时不再收到警报。
类似于使用一个语音命令(voice command)设置警报，您可以要求Cortana摆脱特定警报。使用(Use)我们之前讨论过的任何语音命令来关闭警报，然后是警报时间。
我们说“取消警报下午 2 点”("cancel alarm 2 PM")并得到与上述相同的结果。
你经常使用 Cortana 吗？
老实说，Cortana作为一个真正的私人助理会挨饿，因为她时不时地行动缓慢，至少部分失聪，有时完全无视你的命令。但是，她尽力而为，并且免费工作，因此您让她在办公室闲逛以防万一。你觉得Cortana怎么样？你经常用她吗？在下面的评论中告诉我们。
How to set timers and alarms using Cortana in Windows 10
Becausе it's integrated with the Alarms & Clock app, you can use Cortana to set timers and alarms on your Windows 10 computer or device. Microsoft's virtual assistant is also useful when it comes to managing your existing alerts, helping you stick to your schedule without missing a beat. This tutorial shows you how to use Cortana to access, set, and manage your Windows 10 timers and alarms. Make sure Cortana is listening and give these voice commands a shot:
NOTE: The features presented in this guide are available in Windows 10 November 2019 Update or newer. If you're using an older version of Windows 10, you might not have access to all the features. Check your Windows 10 build and, if necessary, get the latest Windows 10 update available for you.
How to access timers and alarms using Cortana in Windows 10
As your virtual assistant, Microsoft's Cortana can open any app. To access Alarms & Clock, the app that includes the timers and alarms in Windows 10, make sure Cortana can hear you, and say "alarm."
You can also say "timer" to access the app.
The app opens, displaying your saved alarms and timers. You can edit them manually or continue reading to learn how to have Cortana do it.
How to set and manage timers using Cortana in Windows 10
If you tend to get lost in your projects, the Timer in Windows 10 is a great way to make sure time does not slip you by. Cortana comes in particularly handy if you've got your hands full cooking, watching over your kids, or doing something else. First, make sure Cortana is listening. Then, say "set timer," "start timer," "add timer," "create timer," "enable timer," or "Cortana's timer."
Cortana asks you how long to set the timer for. Tell her the amount of time.
The timer is set for that duration, and Cortana lets you know while counting down.
TIP: Click or tap on "Open in Timer app" to access the Alarms & Clock app. It opens to display your timer expanded and taking up the entire window, which can be quite useful if you want to keep an eye on it at all times.
When you set a timer using Cortana, you don't get to name it. You can only use Cortana to create one timer named Cortana's Timer. You can also set Cortana's Timer with one voice command instead of the lengthier method illustrated above. The easiest way to do this is to say "timer," followed by the duration you want. We said "timer five minutes."
If Cortana's Timer is already counting down, any attempt to set a new one through a voice command causes Cortana to attempt overwriting it. The value you chose for your new timer is displayed, and you are asked if you want to restart the timer. Answer "Yes" or "No" depending on your needs.
To avoid confusion, you can ask Cortana at any time to "check timer," "show timer," "view timer," or "how much time is left?". She tells you the exact time left, while displaying Cortana's Timer counting down.
To stop Cortana's Timer, say "end timer," "stop timer," "cancel timer," "remove timer," or "turn off timer." Cortana lets you know she turned off your timer.
TIP: You can replace the word "timer" with "countdown" in many of the voice commands for the same result.
Cortana's Timer behaves like any other timer. You can see it counting down and interact with it in the Timer tab of the Alarms & Clock app.
When you turn off the timer using spoken commands, Cortana's Timer also disappears from the Alarms & Clock app.
How to set and manage alarms using Cortana in Windows 10
Alarms are a useful way of making sure you remember your schedule. You can set an alarm manually, or you can ask Cortana to do it. Make sure the virtual assistant is listening and say
"create alarm," "add alarm," "set alarm," or "turn on alarm."
Cortana asks you the time for the alarm. Answer, telling her what time you want your alarm to sound.
An alarm is set for that time, and Cortana lets you know.
TIP: Unless otherwise instructed, Cortana uses the default settings for your alarm, leaving the name blank. Click or tap on your alarm in Cortana's window to open the Alarms & Clock app. It opens in the Alarms tab, displaying a list of your saved alarms, and allowing you to manually edit previously created alarms.
It is simpler to create alarms with one voice command, without answering further annoying questions from Cortana. We found it easiest to say "alarm," followed by either the exact time for the alarm or the duration until you want it to go off. So if it's currently 8 AM and you want to set an alarm for 10 AM, you can use both the voice command "alarm 10 AM" and "alarm two hours" with the same result.
Since alarms are used mainly to wake people up, the command "wake me up at/in..." is also valid.
TIP: If you don't specify the period (AM or PM), Cortana assumes you mean the first time the clock shows that time. So if you want an alarm for 8 AM, you can simply say "alarm 8," as long as the current time is past 8 PM. However, if it's 7 PM, the same voice command sets the alarm for 8 PM.
One voice command is all you need if you want your alarm to repeat. Say "alarm," followed by the weekday you want it to repeat and the time for it. For instance, we said "alarm Thursdays 5 PM" for the result below.
You can't vocally set more than one weekday for your alarm, so, sadly, if you say "Mondays and Tuesdays" instead, Cortana only creates an alarm for Tuesdays. However, you can also use the parameters "every day" and "weekends."
You can add as many alarms as you want with Cortana. To view all the alarms that are on, tell Cortana to "show alarm," "check alarm," or "view alarm." All active alarms, whether they were set with Cortana or not, are displayed in Cortana's flyout.
If you want to turn off an alarm, say "cancel alarm," "disable alarm," "remove alarm," or "turn off alarm." Cortana displays your active alarms and asks which one to disable.
Answer with the time of the alarm you want to remove. We answered "2 PM." Cortana lets you know she disarmed that alarm, so you are no longer alerted when the time comes.
Similar to setting an alarm with one voice command, you can ask Cortana to get rid of a particular alarm. Use any of the vocal commands for turning off an alarm that we discussed earlier, followed by the time of the alarm.
We said "cancel alarm 2 PM" and got the same result as above.
Do you use Cortana often?
To be perfectly honest, Cortana would starve as an actual personal assistant, as she can move slowly now and then, is at least partly deaf, and sometimes disregards your commands entirely. However, she tries her best and does work for free, so you let her hang out in the office just in case. How do you feel about Cortana? Do you use her often? Let us know in a comment below.
