No Thumbnails Displayed In Photos Section Of Search Results
Jul 30, 2015
I got the free Windows 10 upgrade yesterday and everything seemed to work really well until I tried using the Search Bar.The problem is that although search results are returned (The indexing seems to be correct) the images displayed under the Photos section are mostly missing their thumbnails which makes the feature pretty useless.Some images have thumbnails but most don't and it isn't any specific file type that does or not display it just seems random.

If you start up the Windows Photos app, it opens with a screen displaying all the photos in your user/pictures folder in thumbnail form which I find highly annoying. I want it to start with a blank screen. Is there a way to do this? I thought I might get it to clear up by pointing the folder it monitors to an empty folder and removing the user/pictures folder from settings but the thumbnails are still there...

When I search for something in the search bar, now I am only getting web results. I am not getting computer related items. For example, if I search for printers, I only get web results about printers. I am not getting anything about the printers I have installed on this computer. This is a recent development. I guess I will add this to the list!

The title says everything. I rebuilt the index, moved it to another disk, rebuilt again without any result: no results in the search window.
Cortana is off and web searching is off. Even if web searching is on, there are no search results in the window.
This has never happened in any other Windows version since Windows 3.1 for Workgroups!

I love Windows 10 but its Search Box functionality is a step backwards from Windows 7. As in Windows 7, is there a way to retain Search Box results so I can return to the results if the first file or folder I open isn't the one I want? This was easy in Windows 7 but I can't find a way to do it in Windows 10. The search box results disappear now after I load a file or folder so I have to perform another search from scratch.
Let me try to explain differently:
1. Click the Start button
2. In the search box, type "Microsoft"
3. Click "My Stuff" to limit the search to your computer
4. In the "Show" drop-down box, click "Documents"
5. Click "See All" and select a document
You'll notice that document opens but the search results window is lost so it's impossible to return to it if the first document isn't the one you want, necessitating another search from the beginning which is very frustrating. In Windows 7, the search results window would remain open in a minimized state so it could be activated to open additional documents.

How some of the search results just lead to the settings app opening with the name of the search result in its search bar, but nothing in the results of the app? What I'm talking about is, search up "Show me tips about windows", "turn auto brightness on or off" or "turn on device discovery".

So I tend to have a habit of quickly typing an app name in the search box by the Start Button in Windows 10. This 99% of the time results in the app being the top answer and a simple return will open the program. However I find a program I have installed, Atom, shares it's name with a Windows/Dos command, and the command is in the top position that defaults to the return key, forcing me to use the mouse or the arrow key to press down 1 time to select the app. How can I reorder the search box to place Applications to the top result, rather than commands?

Yesterday I upgraded two Dell laptops and my desktop machine to Windows 10.
1. Search - On my two Dell laptops if I search for, say, User Account Control, at the top of the search results I will get a local result saying Change User Account Control settings. That result will be in grey. But on my desktop machine, if I enter the same search, I don't get any grey result at the top. All I can get on that machine is web results. I don't know what's different. I have initialized Cortana on all three machines the same way (I think). Why I am not getting local results on the desktop machine?
2. One of my Dell laptops has a fingerprint reader. It was working for logins when I had Windows 7 on the machine. Now that I have Windows 10 on the machine I cannot figure out how to get the reader working again.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit edition. I upgraded from Windows 8 pro.When I search for non-apps, such as "power options", the search results appear properly. However, when I click on the power options search result (with the icon), nothing happens. Clicking on "settings" and "windows mobility center" does work. And if I search for "control panel" and select the result, that works fine, since the search result is an app.
I've tried doing an in-place repair install of Windows 10 pro, but that didn't work. And I've tried deleting and rebuilding the search index.
As a workaround, I installed Stardock's Start10. Start10's search results work, but only from within it's own Windows 7 and Modern themes. for a Windows 10 function (such as device manager), from within Windows 10 native search function on the toolbar, isn't selectable unless what I search for is an app.

This is referring to the blue "Search Everywhere" panel that slides out from the right, not Cortana or the Start Menu search box.
When I type into it, it'll list my local files on the top, then web results underneath. Clicking any listed local file will open that file, but clicking on any web results doesn't do anything.
Example: If I type in "ASUS", it'll show any file on my PC with ASUS in the name. Under those results, it then lists results from the web like the ASUS website and other ASUS related results like Google or Bing does. Any local document in the list will open from the search results, but no web links will open (nothing happens when clicked on).
Not sure why this is happening.

if my language settings are USA, then search in Settings works.But if I change the display language to British English, I get the well-known "Search results aren't quite ready yet, but we're working on getting them together".Cortana search works (although I may be prompted to set language when changing language as above).
I have tried to find every case where language settings need to be changed to British English, and downloaded UK language packs and speech. Even when everything I can find is set to UK English, search in Settings fails.However, if I revert to US English, it works.I have read fixes about turning Cortana off and reinstalling apps - but this is usually where both Cortana isn't working and this message appears. This does not seem to apply in my case, and surely it should not be necessary to do that merely to support changing language.

Before upgrading, I could search for things like Device Manager or Driver Update, and I could locate it, now nothing turns up at all. Nothing for device manager. No results for "driver" I think before it had a result for driver updates by default.There are results for printer, which is nice. I know there should be something similar for Device Manager.

When I "search my stuff" from the start menu, some files that I know to be indexed never show up in the results. And at the top of the search window, it reads: "These results may be incomplete, search is still indexing your stuff."
I've rebuilt the search index, which says it finished successfully, indexing 3000-something items, but the problem remains.

Search in Windows new start menu is annoying, each time web search using bing results are also shown, which is really unwanted.
Using :: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Search
We can enable the following 3 options to disable web search:
Do not allow web search
Don’t search the web or display web results in Search
Don’t search the web or display web results in Search over
However, as usual I'm looking for a way to do this via registry.

Many times when I search from the Start Menu, results come up for files that have been deleted or moved but the old path is listed in the results (so that clicking it throws me a "File cannot be found" type error).
I first noticed this when I moved a folder of PDF manuals to a new location. The titles of these files will come up when searching from the Start Menu but the paths are linked to the original locations and so Windows can't "find" the file when I click on it in the search results.
I did a CCleaner sweep of my system and even tried rebuilding the search index but cannot correct this nonsense. What's going on?

Windows Search returning no results on one of my external harddrives. I have already:
Tried indexing the HDD and rebuilding.Non-indexing and rebuilding.Indexing only specific folders on the HDD and rebuilding.Specifically disabling indexing for this drive in the drive's properties.Checked that I have the appropriate permissions on the drive (they are identical to my other HDDs).
Crude example of my problem:
I am looking for the following file, A:Example est.txt.I am inside the A:Example folder.I search for "test", "*" or "txt".It says there are no results.
And it says "no results" instantly - it doesn't appear to even try.
I do not have a second drive with sufficient space to move the contents to do a format - so I'm looking for non-destructive solutions.

I have unchecked the option to 'show icons instead of thumbnails' (view>options>folder options) and I have checked 'show icons' (performance>advanced) but still I get icons instead of thumbnails. I have closed and restarted file explorer multiple times to no change. I have posted the screenshot below to show the current settings.

I have two problems that may be connected.
My first problem is with searching on the start menu. On one computer i can click the Start Button and just start typing 'notepad', i net to 'note' and just press enter, this opens up Notepad. On my faulty computer though, i can type 'notepad' but nothing ever comes up. I just get the dots at the top moving endlessly. See the picture 'Start Menu', attached to this post.
My second problem is when I'm using the 'Photos' app. I go to select multiple photos and videos, then press copy, then i go to where i want to paste the files to (might be on hard drive, might be usb stick), but i just get the blue wait circle. Sometimes if I just select 10-15 photos, it will finally allow me to paste them, but if im selecting lots of photos AND video, the blue wait cirlce will never go (I have left it for two hours before).
I have run disk defrag, I have also deleted and rebuilt the search index by going into Indexing Options>Advanced>Rebuild.

Windows 10 is going to be an OS for all (Phone,PC,Tablet and Xbox ). So, point of discussion is that Is Windows 10 support a new Application file different from exe and iso? Or it support old Apps too?
And windows 10 will come with its own features and again all win 8.1 Apps get outdated same what we saw in case of upgradation from win 7x to 8 and from 8 to 8.1 ;and that app situation again appear.

After a long struggle to import my pix from the camera to Win10 and finally succeeding, I've now another mystery
1. How to put the imported 10 or so photos into a folder? I did it with another bunch of imported photos and now I can't remember how I did it though I tried and tried..
2. How can I pick out the ones I want to send (and how to send them by email?) as I prefer not to delete the ones I won't send, to avoid later regrets. I don't even know how to delete any individual photos....
MS keeps everything a secret - no links to choose photos, or delete them, or send them, or change the order in which they are arranged, etc. I had come to learn photos in Win7 with "Photo Gallery" after a long time - now I'm condemned to the same torture on the new windows!
