  1. Completely unable to click in the search field - Windows 10 1909


    Hey,

    I'm having this problem where I'm just not allowed to click the search field under "This PC" or any of the subsequent subfolders / drives. Can just keep clicking and nothing, not allowed to type in that field. This is a permanent thing. Anyone seen or heard of this bug before, anything I can do? This is the search field I'm referring to: https://i.imgur.com/cLbowr0.jpg

    Hi,

    Are you unable to just type in this fields or are these fields greyed out?

    I would suggest you to first check if install all the latest updates available through Windows updates to make sure that you have all the patches. If you have already done this, then I would suggest try these steps and check if it

    After windows 10 update search in outlook 2013 never completes


    I've run into what I think is this same issue, although I'm not completely certain that it coincides with a Windows 10 update. I set up a user on a new Windows 10 Pro box, with Outlook 2013, and he found he was unable to search his PST files. We went through the whole standard list of troubleshooting search indexing options, including rebuilding the entire search index, without success. I also copied his PSTs to another system, and ran into the same issue, which eliminates disk errors, registry junk, and things unique to his machine. What finally worked for me were these steps:

    1.In Outlook, go to Options -> Search -> indexing options -> Modify
    2. Uncheck "outlook" and the folder under your user where your PST files are located
    3. Close Outlook
    4. Give it a few minutes for processes to exit
    5. Restart Outlook
    6. Go to Options -> Search -> indexing options -> Modify
    7. Check the items you unchecked in step 2
    8. Select something in your PST file and click search to bring up the search window
    9. Select Advanced Find from the Search Tools pulldown
    10. Perform your search.

    After this I was able to search again using the quick search option at the top of the message list pane.

    I suspect this toggled some internal switch in Outlook which the index rebuild didn't touch.
