Windows 10: Anniversary Update: Search not working properly

Thanks for the reply. I did everything you suggested in this thread. My point is: as soon as you change the language in all settings or if you create an other user using a language different from the OS install, the Windows search is broken.

Naturally if you change language & region, Cortana is disabled in some regions/language combinations because it's not yet for all countries & languages. But I don't care for Cortana but find Windows search essential in Win 10.

Since I already wasted a couple of hours on this problem, I may well try in-place upgrade repair install but I'm skeptical.

 

Tried your suggestion & the #9 link: everything set to UK including Region except keyboard and still the "These results may be incomplete ..." error.

Maybe it worked for you because you installed some flavor of English, had the problem & solved with all UK. In my case it's a mix Spanish & English and maybe it's related to the way Windows search builds it's database via indexing.

Edit: added screen capture of Region > Administrative > Copy settings (Latin American is the keyboard):

Here are some of my settings:














No complaints from cortana:



Search settings works:

 

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I edited my post above yours adding a screen cap of Region > Administrative.

I just checked (again!) and all my settings are exactly like yours except time zone & keyboard and in Settings > search for language like you, I still get:

[FIX] These Results May Be Incomplete, Search Is Still Indexing Your Stuff
some ideas there..
Worth searching generally with exactly this string for
"search results aren't quite ready" language

SOLVED: Search results arenre working on getting them together - Appuals.com
Note here the idea wrt Windows updates. I now recall someone on this forum identified that approach many months back.

 

Thanks for the suggestions but I have too many problems with this clean install Spanish/English including wifi not starting on reboot error, Bluetooth module not recognized & cherry on the cake today: goes to sleep with the flashing led correctly indicating sleep state & when trying to wakeup it reboots instead! Event viewer says improper shutdown.

So back to Windows 10 download but in English this time hoping it will be activated even if original OEM OS Win 7 Pro with digital rights was in Spanish.

Will try to add an other user with an other language after all updates & settings are ok & check the Windows search.
