    Can't search my stuff. "Something went wrong"; Can only search web, not desktop or computer

    A month into the debacle and no help whatsoever from Microsoft. USELESS.

    Did you know that it's not possible to file a complaint against Microsoft? What a pack or cretins. Their own Better Business Bureau says they do not respond to complaints submitted from the Better Business Bureau. UNACCEPTABLE!
