  1. Search Bar and Explorer not working


    Two days ago I was navigating through my files then out of nowhere the Explorer crashed, I tried to open it again only for it to crash seconds after opening the folder again. While trying to fix the problem I also discovered that my Search Bar closed before I was able to type on it.



    I tried sfc /scannow and it said that it was able to find problems but not solve it. Disabling Thumbnails fix the Explorer crashs but I need to see them since its image files and I would need to open one by one without them.

  2. File Explorer Search Not Working


    I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

    Search Bar in explorer and task bar not working

    Hi,

    The Search Bar in explorer and task bar not working, I've tried every possible solution I could find online and nothing works, any suggestions?

    Even after the latest update on 15/07/20 the issue was still not resolved, I have been having this issue on and off after updates have been installed.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I use the search bar a lot in my job.
