  1. Settings search not working


    My settings search is not working it keeps showing no result .

    I have tried everything sfc scan, dism scan , troubleshoot searching index.

    I found out that SearchUi.exe is suspended .

    How should I fix this?

    Also if I create a new account the settings search works perfectly in the new account but still the same in the old one. Settings search not working 4bd4a26c-0c90-4ba9-ac4a-e500099d4735?upload=true.png
