Search Window In Task Bar?

Dec 9, 2015

I did some exploring with the search window & set it up in Cortana, but I don't like it & would like to know if/how I can revert/change it back to say, "Search The Web or Computer" vs. "Ask me anything." I don't understand ho The Reminders work; is it only for that day (or I thought you could set up a reminder for a future day/like in a calendar.

Cortana / Search Window Not Having Accurate Mouse Pointing

Aug 30, 2015

I installed build 10532 this afternoon and ran into an issue with the search window not having accurate mouse pointing. As a result I rolled back to build 10525 which fixed that issue. My problem now though is that I can't access folders when I key in a search item, for example keying in Documents I can't access the Documents folder in the suggested items.

Task Bar Start Menu And Search Stopped Working

Jan 31, 2016

Sometime in December, 2015 my keyboard Windows button and my task bar Start menu and Search stopped working and without the ability to START I lost all the tiles. Windows has now become very cumbersome to use.

I have given up on Windows 10 and it's too late to recover Windows 7 (Windows 7 was great). Really wish this had not happened as I have been a Windows user since version 3.1. I guess I posted this here because I'm frustrated with the problem and need to air it out. Must buy a new PC.

Installation :: Search Function In Task Bar Only Searching Local Machine

Jul 30, 2015

I just did the upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10 - overall pretty seamless given what could have gone wrong- I was lucky this time. Some minor annoyances , but overall pretty good.

On the task bar search, about an hour ago, I know it was searching the web as I typed in a web address and it took me there....but now, suddenly, its only searching my local machine. I must have inadvertently changed something. that affected this. Where is the setting to get it back to the way it was so I can search the web?.

I know did change my default Edge search engine from Bing to Google...would that have affected the task bar search function?

I also turned Cortana off - did that affect it??

Window Outline Remains Even Though Window Is Closed

Jan 21, 2016

Last, previously closed window outline remains displayed. Sometimes can 'force' it to go away by left clicking on an unused portion of desktop but not always.

Just got laptop for Christmas and has always had this problem so might be a setting.

Have looked at Advanced -> Visual Settings but didn't see any that looked like would fix (tried setting Best Performance - which turned everything off but didn't fix)

Cannot Search By Typing On Start Menu Or Using Search Spyglass?

Oct 20, 2015

Win 10 Enterprise. Worked fine for a couple of days, but now I cannot seem to bring up the start menu and start typing anything. It will not search. I also tried in the search box or spyglass... I just click on it and nothing happens. It is a major inconvenience. I don't want to do a restore and keep my files, because there is a HUGE list of applications I will then need to restore. I also tried to click on Cortana, but clicking the app does nothing, doesn't even bring it up.

I tried re-indexing search items, I tried the search troubleshooter. I have rebooted, I have installed all updates. Someone on another forum said kill the Cortana task... well there isn't one running.

Settings Not Appearing When Search For Them In Search Bar

Aug 28, 2015

I Just bought a new XPS 13 (lowest end model) that came with Microsoft 10 pre-installed (bought it from Microsoft store). my problem is that I cannot search for settings in the main search bar or even the settings search bar, the settings search bar simply doesn't work at all, and to double check that this wasn't a windows 10 issue I tried it out on a friend's Laptop and it worked fine. I took screenshots of both my Laptop and my friend's.

My Laptop:

searching for "add or remove" brings up nothing, even in the settings search

My friend's Laptop:

as you can see it works fine on my friend's laptop bringing up the settings i was searching for

When Boot Up PC Cannot Search In Search Bar

Oct 10, 2015

Sometimes when I boot my PC I cannot search in the Search Bar, I have to restart the system then it usually works fine again until the next reboot.I have decided to rebuild the index to just the things I use regularly (I know how to navigate through the system so I don't usually need to search for much, it's purely ease).

These are the things which have been excluded: $SysReset; AMD; Fraps; history; inetpub; Intel; MSOCache; NPE; Perflogs; Program Files (x64); Program Files; ProgramData; Appdata; Appdata; WindowsIt has currently (after 1 hour) indexed 4,000 items. Do any of these things need to be indexed, Program Files for example? If they do not need to be then I probably will exclude them.

Express Zip Pop Up Window

Jan 20, 2016

When I right click on the windows icon, a menu comes up It starts with "Programs and Features" and ends with "Desktop". The menu includes Control Panel, Task Manager, etc. But if I try to access ANY of the items listed in the menu, I get a popup window from Express Plus Zip Files telling me that my free trial is over and offers a link to purchase the program. I don't know what this is or what to do about it!! I can't even look at the programs on my computer to try to uninstall express zip. Now my printer has suddenly stopped printing from my computer although I can copy on my printer. But I can't even look at my control panel or anything! I am so frustrated and really wish I had not installed windows 10.

Start Up Window Not Working

Aug 24, 2015

When I left click the start up icon I get a message: Critical Error, Start Up Window isn't functioning. Will try to fix when you re-start. The Error message prevents all other windows from opening. When I click the message, the system re-boots, but the Error continues.
If I do not left click the icon, everything works properly, and when I right click the icon, everything works too, including the shut down process, the searches, etc.

Window Old Directory In C Drive

Oct 24, 2015

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 using the free upgrade program from MS, the old windows 7 installation has been moved a folder call Windows.old. I am not sure if this is for reverting back to Windows 7 in case Windows 10 installation fails or for some other reason.

However, this is folder is hogging a very large disk space ( around 36 GB) on my C: drive. Is there anyway we can remove this without affecting the current Windows 10 installation? Or it needs to be there to refer to some old data?

Note: After upgrade my Windows 10 installation was not very stable, hence I have done a clean installation of Windows 10 on my system.

Customization :: Won't Allow Window Appearance Changes

Aug 9, 2015

I've spent hours installing and customizing Win 10, but can't find out how to set windows so they always open to the format and specifications I'd like.

For instance, in Win 7, I was able to change the Scroll Bar, Title Bar, Borders, Menu Fonts, Window Fonts, etc.

I'll try to attach/embed a JPG showing how a typical window looks in Win 7 on my laptop. I'm apparently not bright enough to figure out how to do this in Win 10 on my desktop.

Taskbar Minimized Window?

Nov 23, 2015

I have an issue which has been going on since beta win 10. If i have a minimized window open on the desk top I can not view it unless i minimize all other windows. It seems once my cursor crosses the top of the taskbar the window I am trying to get to closes, only way to get to it is to minimize all other windows and then I got get to it and then click on it? Same thing if I want to change the volume if I click on the taskbar the volume window will close once the cursor crosses the top of the taskbar? If i right click on the volume icon then I get the volume mixer and I am able to get to it to adjust? I keep thinking this is a bug that will get fixed, but never does.
