    after searching a synched folder - I can't open the results.


    Hi Really Smart People -


    When searching a synced folder - the search results don't open from the search result page. They just sit.


    Environment:


    Win10 Pro

    Office365 business prem


    I can open the desired file if I toggle to it and in Sharepoint.


    I've deleted and recreate the Sync folder without success.


    For some reason I have two Sync folders one of which I can't delete which I'm thinking may be related


    Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder


    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
     
  3. File Explorer Search: Results not opening


    When I use File Explorer Search in my user folders, the results appear to have lost their association and do not open when I click them.

    Before search:

    After search for "Get"

    Note the icons have gone, the folder is not listed. Clicking the file does zilch.

    after searching a synched folder - I can't open the results.

    Windows 10 not displaying search results for indexed shortcuts in a folder.

    Thanks Deepika,

    I had tried running this troubleshooter before, but I've just run it again with "Files don't appear in search results" and "My problem isn't listed above" ticked, and it comes up with "Issue not present" against all potential issues, and "Troubleshooting
    couldn't identify the problem", even after troubleshooting as an administrator.

    I'd be glad of any other suggestions please!
