Windows 10: Search index not working

Hey guys,

The search index on my task bar isn't working. I have tried the Windows troubleshooting, but it didn't work. I have tried searching the problem but can' t seem to find the problem.

Also, when I start my computer, I get the message that the file taskschd.dll isn't good for this computer, or something. I have re-installed the newer version of the file but I still get the message.

Does anyone know how to fix these problems? Thank you.

This issue may occur due to corrupt Windows search files or settings. I suggest you to follow the below method and check if it helps.

  Click troubleshooting in the search results.
  
• 
  Click "View all" and then click "Search and Indexing".
  
• 
  Click "Next" and follow on-screen instructions.

  Type services in the run box, go to the Windows search services and restart them.
