  1. Search doesn't work


    Basically the title

    Windows-wide search stopped working for me about a month or 1.5 ago. I can't use the searchbar, I can't use the Windows Explorer search or the search in any of the settings menus / any other menu, basically, no Windows Search at all. It just won't let me type into the search field, and when I try, nothing happens.

    What I tried already:- Restarting Windows Search process- Trying the regedit temporary fix with BingSearch etc.- Renewing the Search index- Probably some other things that I've found online, all to no avail

    I really don't know what to do anymore, and since the Windows Search was something I used to use to launch basically every application (because I don't like using the Desktop much), it really is frustrating to know that it doesn't work.

    I hope some of you here can help me with this, I'm really starting to become desperateThanks

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

  3. Double Tap doesn`t work on Lumia 620

    Hello,

    Double Tap to wake doesn`t work at my Lumia 620. I have all on in settings but still doesn`t work. I`m pretty sure that in update AMBER or BLACK this function works properly. But after DENIM update doesn`t. Maybe you are planning some update for this future
    ?

    Thanks
