    Can't search for any applications from the Windows Start Screen


    I always used to be able to hit Windows key on my keyboard, have the Windows Start menu pop up, and then start typing an applications name and the application would pop up and I could run it. Now when I try this Windows just jumps back to my desktop.Can anyone tell me what might be going on here?

    :)

    Black screen after 'Starting Windows' sequence

    Sounds like the old... windows black screen of death.

    Try this quoted from "VisiHow" article "Repair Windows 7 Black Screen of Death":

    They, also, have some other options there, too.
    Google search and you will find a lot of the "Windows Black Screen of Death with cursor" fixes.

    Start menu search not finding applications?


    Do you have "All apps" listed after you click on the start button ?
