  2. Windows 10 Search doesn't include any *.EXE files

    Hi,

    The .exe files in Windows 10 are classified as "applications" that's why the returned search results are not showing them as .exe files. You need to change the view settings of
    File Explorer for you to be able to view them as .exe files. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

    • Type file explorer on the search bar.
    • Click on File Explorer.
    • Click on View.
    • Click on Options.
    • Click on Change folder and search options.
    • Click on View.
    • Under Advanced settings, uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.
    • Click on OK.

    Let us know if you need further assistance with your concern.

    Hi Sannie,

    • At the command prompt type “sfc /scannow” (no quotes), and then press ENTER.
