    Windows Search and News and Interests not working


    Hello all,I'm not at all sure how this happened, but for some reason, Windows Search functionality is broken on my computer, as is News and Interests. I can't search for anything and if I click on or so much as hover over News and Interests, a box shows up and then disappears.I don't know if an update is causing this and if it is, which one, nor do I know how to make sure this doesn't happen again.This just started happening; the last update I installed was 5004945, which I understand is an emergency patch, so I know that just by nature it's not a great idea to uninstall that update.Please

    :)
