Windows 10: Start menu doesn't display installed apps/programs when I search for them

Is there any way to make the Start Menu's "Search" function default to actually searching my computer, rather than the internet? There are multiple programs I have installed that simply don't appear in the results when I search for them, even though they're installed on my boot drive Audacity & Handbrake, for example. I'm able to pin the .exe files to the start menu, which then fixes the problem, but I feel like I shouldn't have to pin every single program that I use frequently to the start menu just to make them appear there when I search for them.

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.
