    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.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Crucial: Whats wrong with Mail App Search Function

    thanks for your suggestion, and no, the windows search index was not the problem. it's the mail app that does not work as expected:

    expected behavior:

    1. type a keyword
    2. return search results containing that keyword

    observed behavior:

    1. type a keyword
    2. no results
    3. search online
    4. still no results and no error msg

    Outlook's search function is not working

    John,

    I suggest you ask in www.elevenforum.com

    Outlook uses Windows search capabilities to do its searches so, in your ElevenForum post, I suggest you also comment on how File explorer search is behaving
    And confirm that you really are referring to MSOffice Outlook not merely the built-in email app or the online service outlook.com and do state your MSOffice version.

    And do have a look at these tutorials
    [table][tr][td]Index Locations - Add or Remove in Windows 11[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Index - Reset and Rebuild in Windows 11[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Indexer Enhanced Mode - Turn On or Off in Windows 11[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Indexing - Enable or Disable in Windows 11[/td] [/tr] [/table]


    It's only a guess, but I think you might find that your indexed locations have been messed up. So you could set them back up the way you want them then reset-rebuilt the index.

    Best of luck,
    Denis
