Windows 10: Search Files and Folders

In previous versions of Windows, one could press the start button and at the bottom of the column there was a blank space where you could enter a filename and locate it on the hard drive. I can't find this tool on Windows 10. Is it there?

Hi Norman,

Allow us to ask the following details so we can properly isolate the issue:

• How long have you had this issue?
• Prior to this concern, have you done any updates on your computer?
• Have you tried rebooting your computer when you discovered the error?

We will wait for your reply.

Should be the button directly to the right of the Start button, either the Cortana circle icon or if you disabled cortana it will be a magnifying glass. You can also just press the Start button and start typing, search should automatically pop up.
