    My search does not work. This includes any Windows apps such as Settings. How do I get it...


    I have a Dell Latitude E6230 32cm. I used to use the Curtains product 'Start11' since my laptop wasn't compatible with Windows 11. I've tried to do discchk and troubleshoot it, but nothing worked. I have a feeling I might have to do a complete reset. Please help me and guide me through this problem. Thanks.

    Windows 10 Settings App Search Not working

    Thank you for providing some suggestions.

    I performed step 1, and at the end of the test, it reported "No changes or updates are necessary."

    I then performed step 2 and received the same message at the end of the test.

    After running the two tests above, I opened up Settings and typed "privacy", which should show some help categories (It does on my other Windows 10 computers). However, on the one computer there is no help information. It states "No result for privacy".
    It appears the Settings app help information list is empty or not found. Typing a single character, e.g., 'p', into the search box displays "No result for p".

    Any further suggestions are welcome.

    Is there a convenient way to have windows 10 try to repair itself without uninstalling my software and/or loosing all of my personal data.

    Regards...
