  3. Start button and search bar not working

    Problem that start button and search do not work has NOT been resolved. I have tried the steps suggested in previous answers but this has not worked. Altogether very frustrating and a big turn off to my opinion of Windows 10. HELP!

    Method 2:

    For search bar not working.

    This could be due to some issues with the “Windows Search” service on the computer and due to which Windows is not able to start this service. Let me know, which troubleshooter you ran to find the root cause of the issue. Is it the “Search and Indexing”
    Troubleshooter? If yes, did you try the suggestions given by the troubleshooter and check if that helps?



    If you haven’t tried the “Search and Indexing” Troubleshooter, then I would suggest you to try that first and let’s know the details. You may also try its suggestions and check the status.



    Run the Search and Indexing Troubleshooter



    This troubleshooter is an automated Windows 8.1 inbuilt tool which finds and fixes the common issues with the Windows Search and Indexing settings. Perform these steps to run this tool and check if that helps.



    • Press “Windows Logo” + “W” keys from the keyboard.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.
    • Click on “Search and Indexing”.
    • Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
    • Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.


    If that doesn’t help, then check the status of the “Windows Search” service from the Service Console. Please follow these steps:



    • Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard to open the “Run” command box.
    • Type “Services.msc” in the “Run” command box and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Services” window, search for the Windows Search service, right click on it and the click on “Properties” from its context menu.
    • In the properties window, check if the service is started, if not click on “Start”.
    • Also, make sure that the “Startup Type” is set as “Automatic”.
    • Click on “Apply” and then “OK”.
    • Now, check if the issue still persists.
    You can also refer to the suggestion by Paulsey from the following link and check if it helps.

    Redirecting

    Hope it helps. Let us know if you need help.
