      followed by rebooting

      Killing and restarting Explorer will suffice. :grinning_face:

      Uninstalling Windows will too, which I may be working on later today because I'm getting tired of this. . .

        Does it happen still, even it you have the search icon/box hidden and only access the search function via Win+S or after click on the start menu button and the have the search box appear after typing something?

        I have the box hidden, but I frequently click the start button, then type note to get to notepad. this functionality is broken.

              The reg change and restarting explorer solved it for me.

                    right click -> pin to start / taskbar would solve that problem....

                      The few power users never even asked for it back.

                      They probably just hit start and start tying. No need for the search button/option or whatever it's called.

                        I do that as well, the issue I was experiencing was nothing at all was showing up. Local search and web search was all broken.

                        Restarting explorer resolved my issue.

                          Yeah, in regards to this issue... it was across the board. Straight up didn't work no matter how you did it.

                            Right, even in Control Panel.

                                Pretty sure this is the same issue that has been reported for a couple of months. I pretty sure that this is the patch released to fix it

                                  Seems like I read something about that at some point today saying that it didn't work.

                                      I have postponed the laptop/desktop updates in WSUS for a week or so until this stuff is fixed. I don't want to mess with colleagues that complain they are not able to search and find something anymore 🙂
