    My corporate VPN wouldn't connect so I restarted. My Windows search icon is gone. There are no choices for search in the taskbar context menu ... you know to choose between box or icon !!!
    ** I ** know I can just hit Win key and start typing. This is going to mess up most of our staff however if this is a purposeful change.

    Anyone know if it's a known issue or intended "improvement" ?
