    Files typed in on the windows search bar open to This PC, instead of opening the actual file.


    Recently I've noticed that when I want to open certain file from the windows search bar, it takes me to This PC and makes me search for it. For example, when I type "PC APPS" in the search bar, it does not show the folder icon, but instead shows the PC icon. When I open the folder, it takes me to the "This PC" tab, instead of the folder itself. This has been quite annoying for me, since I have lots of folders that I know would open before when I typed them in. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this problem. It also happens with .txt files.

    :)

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile Files typed in on the windows search bar open to This PC, instead of opening the actual file. :)
