So far, Sticky Notes sounds like a handy but rudimentary feature. But in Windows 10, there’s more to it thanks to the power of Cortana. If your note contains a reminder with a date and time, you can tell Cortana to remind you. Just type a letter such as “Call Nathan at work on December 30 at 4 pm.” You’ll notice the date and time are written and underlined in blue, indicating a link.
