Windows 10: Searches don't work. A solution that did. Restore Cortana via Powershell Get-AppXPackage

Why don't you add the option to restore Cortana using Powershell through getapppx if searches don't work? I tried everything else unsuccessfully and found this online: https://windowsreport.com/searchui-exe-windows-10/


Must restart after running Powershell command.


This is not a criticism of Microsoft. Just the answer I needed. Wanted to share.
