Windows 10: Latest Windows 10 bug is causing Windows Search problems

Multiple reports have surfaced of Windows 10 rendering broken Windows Search results with “This is taking too long to load” error. The error “This is taking too long to load” is appearing with a reload button when attempting to search and it doesn’t seem to be affecting everyone.

The issue has been reported on Reddit (1, 2), Microsoft’s own forum, and as well as on social media. Some users report that they are experiencing this issue even after reloading the Search page and restarting the computer.

“The last update that I installed was the optional update KB4550945 and I’m having this exact problem, hopefully, it gets fixed soon,” one user wrote.

“I got this one too and getting another Windows Update patch didn’t solve the problem. But just killing Windows Search from the task manager just made things back to normal,” another user said.



Reloading the page should bring back Windows Search, but users noted that the problem disappeared only after they repaired the Windows 10 system image. If you’re in this particular situation, you can use the DISM tool or SFC command to scan and repair the Windows 10 system image.

How to fix Windows Search “This is taking too long to load” error


To fix issues with Windows Search, follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R to open Windows Run.
2. In Windows Run, type ‘cmd’.
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run ‘cmd’ as an administrator.
4. In Command Prompt, type ‘DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth’ and press enter.

You can also clear the Windows Update with Disk Cleanup tool to restore Windows Search page.

Usually, when your device is experiencing Windows Search issues, it’s likely to be a particular Windows Update, server-side issue or a custom setting such as a Registry key to disable Bing search.

It’s currently unknown how many users are affected by Windows Search’s latest problem, but judging from the number of reports, the problem does not appear to be very widespread.

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

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

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

Major BUG: GPU-Z causes Windows 10 PC to hard lock

I am a proud beta tester of GPU-Z! Also, I have suggested many features/new functions over the years, many of which were implemented by GPU-Z author. *Smile
So, I like GPU-Z and do not want to use anything else for this.

Could be not GPU-Z, in fact. Maybe a combination of those latest AMD Radeon drivers+my Windows 10 being Insider Preview.
MY Windows 10 OS is the Insider Preview kind, maybe I should have mentioned that.

RE Core Temp, I have translated it into Bulgarian, and also suggested some new features, implemented by author (for Core Temp, just a few - less than those I suggested for GPU-Z). *Smile
So, likewise I like it and do not want to stop using it. *Wink
