Windows 10: Start menu search not finding applications?

I do see a Microsoft office, thanks fort pointing that out, i do however not see them from searching

 

I don't have the search box shown in your picture is there a way of enabling it?

 

Right click on the taskbar, mouse to Search, then set it to show the icon or the whole search box.

 

It shows once you start typing

 

Right click on the task bar > move the cursor to "Search" > left click on "Show search box"

 

Could be, i have another PC installing Windows 10 ATM i will test if it works on that

 

Please post back with your result's.

 

Were you able to find Outlook in the Microsoft office all apps folder?

 

Yes all Office programs show up in the folder

 

I can find the exe file by typing out the the name and the extension like so: outlook.exe

 

You do not have a problem as those programs are registered Out look is not under O but in a folder under Microsoft your other programs may be hiding in a folder also.

 

UPDATE:

I can confirm that this problem does not exicst on my laptop wich i just upgaded and did a clean install on, so it must be tied to a corrupt registry.

Is there any chance of doing a repair on the registry without reinstalling?

 

They should show up under a search if they are in a folder. Its much quicker to search for the app than having to navigate to it

 

You can do a repair install of 10, I'm not positive if it will effect your installed program's though.
It will repair the registry.

 

Then you should be able to pin it to your start screen.
