  1. Update breaks search


    There are a series of updates that breaks the windows search on my PC. The one that I see that keeps causing the search to crash is KB5003637. I have tried a variety of methods to get it back working after it installs, but the only thing that has been working is removing the update, then disabling updates for 7 days. None of the later updates corrected the issue either.Any ideas on it?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

    Hi,



    Apologies for the late reply.



    Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



    It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



    I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



    Try the following steps:


    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command

    • Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter

    • Search for the programs and un-install it.


    Regards,

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
