    Has anyone had issues searching on Windows 10


    I have a Win 10 machine that when I try searching for applications the search feature does not work. I click on the start button or the search box and begin typing. Nothing I type is entered and the search box disappears. I have restarted the search service and file explorer service. I have also checked for updates and installed all that were available. This is a shared computer in our office, so it has multiple accounts with permission to access it and they all work except for 2 new accounts that were recently added. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

  2. New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

    Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems and complaints
    • Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
    • Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update
    • Drivers problems with the Fall Creators Update
    • Experience problems with the Fall Creators Update
    keep in mind, as of recently, the FCU is installed on 5% of devices roughly.....

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
