Why Aren't Installed Applications Shown In Search

Jul 28, 2015

When I try to search for specific applications that are installed (and visible) in the Start menu, Cortana (or Search) doesn't find anything. Just web results and settings are shown.

Any way to clear the Cache or reset the search indexing so that everything will be searchable again? Windows 10

Compatibility With Installed Applications

Aug 2, 2015

I have, so far (my PC was upgraded to Windows 10 two days ago), found two applications that don't appear to be compatible but weren't flagged ahead of time. These are AnvSoft Any Video Converter Ultimate and Samsung Kies 3. I'm guessing I'll find more as time goes on.

Windows Search - Files Not Shown

Sep 16, 2015

I have some HDDs connected through SATA in my PC and in one of them, I stored my files. Included that path in Indexing service, Windows can't show me the file I search.

Instead, if I search a file or a folder stored in my DropBox folder for example, (under C:usersEmanueleDropbox) the windows search show it immediately.

Some example.

If i want to search a file or folder stored in D:, windows search not show any file....
If i search a folder in indexed in C: all works fine.

I tried to rebuild index too many times.

Search Results Aren't Quite Ready Yet

Dec 28, 2015

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.

Apps :: Laptop Cannot Start Applications Installed

Jan 3, 2016

I switched my microsoft account to a local account and now my laptop cannot start applications I have installed, such as Chrome and WoW. I tried switching back to a microsoft account and this did not resolve the problem.

I can see the installed programs in Programs & Features, but they cannot be uninstalled.

The shortcuts that were created for these programs say they cannot find the file location.

While I could just go ahead and reinstalled, this will be a problem for ones like Wow, and its a brand new laptop which I intended to keep as organized as I could :P not a great start.

Start Menu Search - Unwanted Results Shown

Sep 2, 2015

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.

Search Applications When Pressing Windows Key

Jul 18, 2015

In Windows 7/8/8.1 I would press the Start/Windows button and start typing the name of a program (ie: Firefox, Word, etc) and it would pop up, learn, and as I did the same thing in the future.....I would just press Windows key, type wor, and Word would pop up and I press enter. Don't need to take my hands off the keyboard.

Windows 10 does not do that. I type Word and get Wordpad. I type Firefox and get 'Download Firefox - Free web browser', Secure (for SecureCRT) give me 'SecureCRT (file folder)', even though these apps are installed. Is there a way to put the apps in the search?

Start Menu Search Not Finding Applications?

Jul 31, 2015

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

However once i install programs like Office 2013 i can't find the application exe files by searching in the start menu.

If i search for outlook or word in the start menu nothing shows up, this was not an issue in Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Is this a general issue in Windows 10 or do i need to change a setting somewhere?

Apps :: Installed Programs Not Showing Up In Search

Feb 10, 2016

I have found a few threads on here and other sites to try and fix it, but no such luck. I am not hitting that old 512 app limit, as I only have 242 installed:

PS C:WINDOWSsystem32> Get-StartApps | measure

Count : 242
Average :
Sum :
Maximum :
Minimum :
Property :

I also have tried rebuilding index, and removed everything and set to default. This does still include my start menu icons, which have apps. Any time I search though, NO app is found.

Start Menu Search Can't Find Installed Apps

Jul 31, 2015

I've noticed now on multiple computers I've installed Windows 10 on, that a quick win-key search isn't able to bring up installed apps. I'm sure this isn't how it's meant to be, and that there must be a fix... right?

Start Menu And Search - Won't Find Installed Program Most Of The Times

Jul 31, 2015

I installed Windows 10 from Windows 7 and I have some minor problems with the start menu. When I search for an installed program most of the times it wont find it but instead it will show me to look it on the web. I believe that it has a connection with the fact that the menu "All apps" doesn't show all apps but only some of them.

Says Speakers Aren't Plugged In But They Are

Aug 2, 2015

I recently did the Windows 10 upgrade. Previously, my speakers worked fine. Now, they won't work at all. My monitor has speakers, and they do work when I select the monitor. However, Windows is telling me that my desktop speakers are not plugged in. That's not true of course - they are plugged in the same way they always were before, using the 3-colored jacks.

The speakers are basic Logitech speakers - two desktop speakers and a subwoofer. I found the devices on the Logitech support website, and checked for drivers. Logitech says these speakers have no drivers.

Why Aren't Email Accounts Syncing

Sep 28, 2015

I have an earthlink.net (POP) email account. This is the name I used for my Microsoft or Outlook account. I linked Outlook.com to my earthlink account. Now I have added this one account (earthlink) to my (Android) phone and my Windows 10 tablet (Thinkpad 10).

First problem is that the default account that I use to sign into Windows is my earthlink address but it NEVER syncs in the email client. I had to add a separate (pop) account for it to even retrieve an email when sent.

Second, when I do receive an email it shows up on both my tablet and my phone... for a short time but then disappears but sometimes if phone is off or hasn't synced I don't even get an alert. Even deleted from within the Earthlink web mail.

All these emails sit untouched on the Outlook.com inbox which I'm not able to sync with either phone, tablet or desktop computer.

This had been going on before the upgrade to Windows 10 but now with the deletion its even worse since the upgrade.

Cortana And Start Menu Aren't Working

Sep 6, 2015

I upgraded to Win 10 a week ago and after a long updating session was well pleased with the OS - everything seemed to work normally and much faster than before.

However, a day after the last updates were installed (KB3081449 and KB3081448) my normal screen appeared with a boxed message ;
'Cortana and Start Menu aren't working. We'll try to fix it the next time you sign in. Sign out now'.

Signing back in does not fix the problem. I cannot access the Start Menu or Search box. I still have my normal (Win 7 style) screen that luckily still has my shortcuts and I still have WiFi access. I have to shut down using the power button.

I don't know how to access the installed updates (There appears to be no access via Control Panel) and restore options only allow a 'revert to Win 7' - is there a Restore option available that takes you back a few days?

Please see screenshot

What is this second account I am seeing in this screenshot ?

When Upgrading Windows Update Screen Shown And Nothing

Jan 31, 2016

It says "downloading windows 10"and i get the icon scrolling but then it just takes me to the windows update screen that shows me my current updates are up to date. I've tried this over a dozen times now, even going as far as disabling my windows firewall and ms essentials....still nothing. I've installed the updates that were optional as well as the required ones but it still will not launch. Downloaded the windows 10 update.exe from microsoft directly and it does the same thing as the one in the taskbar. What else should I do? Maybe it's a sign I just keep 7 (ultimate btw) for a much longer time.
