    Can't open start menu search result


    In indexing options via the control panel I have set included locations Desktop, Favorites, Pictures, Start Menu and Users with no exclusions. When I search for the specific program "Git Bash" the search result appears but I can't open it, nothing happens when I left or right click it. In C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Git the shortcut "Git Bash" is in that directory and I can open the shortcut from that directory.I have already deleted and rebuilt the index as well as used the following commands in administrator mode of command prompt: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Re

    Tweak start menu search results: I use search constantly and keep my machine well indexed. Search generally works pretty well, but sometimes the results are very.. counter intuitive.

    Start Menu search isn't listing results...: [ATTACH] When I hit Winkey for Start Menu, I get the start menu and then type, bit it isn't listing results. The top result is hinted in the search box, but that's not exactly useful. I thought it just filtered out the dark gray start menu. Ideas?...

    Can't pin anything to start menu? and start menu search results?: Either the Windows 10 start menu really sucks or I am using it wrong. I am used to the StartisBack/Windows 7 menu where you can pin anything and all applications will come up in search results.
