    Searchapp.exe suspended, Search and Drop Down Menus not working


    Ok this is driving me crazy any help to fix this issue would be appreciated.On Thursday Nov 10th I did a GeForce Driver updated for my 3060 Graphics card. Shortly after that I noticed none of the windows search functions were working. If i tried to click in a search bar it would just flicker and disappear. I opened windows explorer and I tried to use search bar there same problem. I tried to open the windows app store and it wouldn't load up. I also tried to click on the drop down menus on the start menu for power or any programs and it wouldn't work. Even in settings using search or drop

    :)

  2. Windows 10 search menu not working' search ui suspended/start menu not working/search bar not working

    Thanks for the reply. I tried all of the fixes you have listed here and followed them precisely to no avail. I am still not able to type a search item into my start menu search bar. After trying the three you listed so thoughtfully (thank you) I went on
    to the groovypost link you included and tried theirs. On the fix "Restart the Search UI Process" (below) when I went onto the processes tab there was no 'Search' option shown at all, it did not exist. I don't know if that is a clue as to what's wrong but I
    proceeded to the next remedy of rebuilding the windows 10 search index with no results there either; and the next as well - nothing.

    Restart the Search UI Process

    Another thing you can try doing is ending the Search UI process in Task Manager, then restarting your computer.
    Press Windows key + X, click Task Manager,
    Processes
    tab, select Search then click End task. Restart your computer then check to see if search works again.


    So basically I have tried every single remedy I could find with still no working start menu search. I am really starting to hate my new computer. It might be a further clue that in task manager, details, there are several applications
    here designated as 'suspended', could this be a clue? They are:

    1. RemindersServer.exe (two of two suspended)
    2. SearchUI.exe
    3. ShellExperienceHost.exe
    4. SkypeHost.exe

    Excel Drop Down Menu Question

    I'm toying around with a project for work. We're trying to make an Excel spreadsheet that has a list of parts that employees would sort of use to build an order form. It's coming along nicely and works fairly well with the touch screen tablet we have, but I had a question. At the moment, when you highlight a cell that has a drop down list of choice, a small box with a down triangle appears in the bottom right. You click that, then the list of items appears. Is there anyway I can make it so that when you click the cell the drop down menu appears? This would make working with the spreadsheet on the tablet many times easier.
