  2. scanned documents

    Hello,

    By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

    • Press Windows and type pictures
    • Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

    Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

    link
    .

    Let us know how that turned out for you.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    Scan option not working

    Search option next to Windows symbol is not working!!

    Hi Darshanhk,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Method 1:

    Perform System File Check (SFC), and then check if this fixes the issue.

    Follow the steps:

    a. Press “Windows Key + Q” to open Charms Bar.

    b. Type cmd without quotes in the search box.

    c. On the left pane, right click on the “cmd” option and select “Run as Administrator”.

    d. Type sfc /scannow’ without quotes and hit enter.

    Method 2:

    If issue persist, I suggest you to try running DISM scan by following the below steps:

    • Press Windows key, and type CMD in search. Right click on CMD and click on Run as administrator.
      • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

    Method 3: PowerShell

    Step: 1 Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip:
    Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.

    Step: 2 Click File > Run New Task

    Step: 3 Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”

    Step: 4 Type PowerShell

    Step: 5 Type the following in the PowerShell prompt:

    $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest

    Step: 6 Close the PowerShell window

    Step: 7 Reboot

    Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

    Thanks
