Windows 10: Dcom breaking windows 10 build 1909 search function

Anyone have a solution for this? I have done it on multiple machines and it is 100% repeatable.

Fresh Win 10 build 1909 installs on multiple machines.

1. Set the default authentication level from connect to none under the system wide dcom section under my computer. Default impersonation level is set to identify
2. Reboot the computer
3. Click in the search window or icon on the toolbar from the desktop and it just turns black and looks like it disappeared.
4. Click the start button and type in a letter of your favorite application and it does nothing. It’s like it doesn’t recognize keyboard input.
5. Open windows explorer and click on the search window in the top right corner it does nothing like the control is dead.

When I change the default authentication level back to connect and reboot everything works again.. I'm really getting frustrated with this. Before you ask. yes, I need to change the dcom settings.. it worked as it should in win 10 build 1803.

Windows 10 1909 search function is not available

The search function of windows 10 1909 cannot be used. Once you click the search icon, it will disappear. It is impossible to successfully establish a test account, SFC, msconfig, and download ISO for repair. What else can I do?

 

Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

Hi,



Apologies for the late reply.



Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



Try the following steps:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command
  
• 
  Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter
  
• 
  Search for the programs and un-install it.
  

Regards,

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
