Windows 10: Windows Search bar not working, Windows Run not working, Files Quick Search not working

Hello, I’m trying to get my Windows Search bar to work but it won’t. I’ve tried the Power Shell commands. I then tried to go to the run window to put in CTFmon.exe but the run window won’t open. Instead I get an error with a solid red X in a circle. I tried following another tutorial to look through

:)

 

Windows 10 search bar doesn't work

Thank you for the quick response.

I did what you suggested and the indexing seems to be working fine. I can find a newly created file in file explorer, but still nothing in the search bar. I reinstalled Cortana but it didn't help.

I created a new user account and the search bar works properly there.

 

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

This is a quick work around
1, Right click the Windows logo (bottom right)
2, click on Task Manager
3, in the list find Search
4, Right click Search and select End Task
5, try a search from the Search the web and Windows bar
