Windows 10: issues with installed programs not showing up in search

I have found a few threads on here and other sites to try and fix it, but no such luck. I am not hitting that old 512 app limit, as I only have 242 installed:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-StartApps | measure


Count : 242
Average :
Sum :
Maximum :
Minimum :
Property :


I also have tried rebuilding index, and removed everything and set to default. This does still include my start menu icons, which have apps. Any time I search though, NO app is found. Any ideas?

:)

 

All installed programs are not showing up in the Control Panel

Kindly try to disable Avira antivirus then check if this resolves your concern. This may be the program that causes the issue.

Tell us how it goes.

Have you tried :
1.Looking for corrupt files by running System file check ( sfc /scannow ) in elevated command prompt ?
2. Create another user account of same privileges > logon to it > and see if the search option function properly ?

 

Nice, just tried running this in elevated powershell, fixed it:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

Thank you for the update.
Will keep your solution in my Tutorial folder.
