    Search not starting from start menu


    Hi,I recently started using my laptop after not using it for a while and the search doesn't seem to be working anymore.Normally to search I hit the windows key and start typing, the search results load in immediately.Now I hit the windows key and start typing, nothing happens at all.I am aware of the windows key + s shortcut to activate search, but I am clueless as to why the normal way of accessing search no longer works.Any help on this will be appreciated.Thanks,Liam

    :)

    Start Menu Search

    Hi, Yes. I tried changing my primary SSD from MBR to GPT via Ease Us Partition Tool. All my other drives besides the main successfully converted but not my primary disk. When the application was trying to convert the disk I received a Kernal In Page Error.
    Hope this helps!
