Windows 10: Ongoing Issues with Windows 10 Search

Hi everyone,

I know this is a topic that is discussed widely across the Internet, and yet there is no permanent solution. I'm hoping someone here can be of assistance.

The Windows Search feature has been breaking on many computers that I work with (all Windows 10 Pro joined to a domain, users using Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016). The error message in the Event Viewer is "The protocol handler Mapi15 cannot be loaded. Error description: (HRESULT: 0x80004005)." Outlook search returns incomplete results and Windows search starts to return no results. This error is written to the Application event log every 2-4 minutes. The only TEMPORARY solution I have been able to find is a registry tweak (https://superuser.com/a/1402219), but the search service seems to break again after a few days. Blowing away the local profile resolves the issue for a while...but then it breaks again. Office reinstall also does not resolve the issue. DISM and SFC also do not resolve the issue.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks, everyone!

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

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:

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

• Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update
• Drivers problems with the Fall Creators Update
