  1. Control Panel, Paint etc not showing up in search


    When I click the windows icon and type a program name such as control or paint it used to give me a link to start the utility.


    No more! I checked the indexing locations and made sure EVERYTHING is included, and I rebuilt the index several times, to no avail.
