    Searching files and docs from Start Menu isn't working


    Hello There.I am unable to search for documents and other files directly from the start menu. Previously it used to work. Now it isn't.I have tried re-building search index and checked to see if Windows search in services is running. Everything seems to be running. I tried the troubleshooting option as well. But this didn't fix my issue.Can anyone help me?

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
