Settings search not working and start bar not clicking setting options

That error message in your first post is typical of a mismatch in language configuration as has been discussed on a good many occasions here. I've experienced it. And of course indexing was complete.

Have you changed your display language to UK English?

If so, you must also download the UK speech pack. Then there are region and timezone settings.

Usually Cortana tends to offer somewhat helpful messages relating to this.
Try Windows key + S.

One way to completely reset language settings is to do an in-place upgrade repair install, and on one occasion when I couldn't untangle this, that's what I did. Of course I was then back to US English, but I could try again.

Check these:






The repairs you have tried won't fix this.

What is downright stupid is
a. MS's totally misleading message
b. That MS has not provided a robust wizard-based way of changing language to guide users thru the steps to lead to a consistent state.

Search Bar/Cortana

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

From the description, I understand that you are still receiving the pop up notifications, despite having disabled the search functionality in windows 10.

Steps to disable the Search Bar

• Right click on the task bar.
• Select the "Search" option.
• Select "Disable."

However, if the above steps don't work out, perform the below suggested steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Open a CMD window started as Administrator.

Repair corruption: Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth.

Run this command next: Sfc /scannow

Now run these two commands:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hope the above information was helpful.

Thank You.
