    How do I open multiple documents from file explorer and have them side by side

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    • When you say, "side by side" what exactly are you referring to?
    • Are you referring to show windows side by side?
    I would suggest you to right click on taskbar and select show windows side by side
    and see if it helps.

    Also you can try with Windows key + arrow keys.

    Open multiple windows in file explorer and press windows key and arrow keys to snap windows one after the other.

    Hope this helps. Please do let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Thank You.

    Search Everywhere only opens files, not web results


    This is referring to the blue "Search Everywhere" panel that slides out from the right, not Cortana or the Start Menu search box.

    When I type into it, it'll list my local files on the top, then web results underneath. Clicking any listed local file will open that file, but clicking on any web results doesn't do anything.

    Example: If I type in "ASUS", it'll show any file on my PC with ASUS in the name. Under those results, it then lists results from the web like the ASUS website and other ASUS related results like Google or Bing does. Any local document in the list will open from the search results, but no web links will open (nothing happens when clicked on).

    Not sure why this is happening. Anyone else experiencing the same thing or know what could be causing this?

    Certain apps don't show in search results

    Some of my applications don't show in search results when I search for them.

    E.g. Visual Studio, it shows only a local directory named "Visual Studio 2017" but it doensn't show the application itself.

    Some other applications are listed as wrong version (already uninstalled), and some others dont't show at all (e.g. Putty)

    I've already rebuilt the index and ran sfc /scannow several times, and got shortcuts for the apps in both

    • %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
    and

    • %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro Version 1607 (Build 14393.1358)

    Any suggestions?
