    Search in my stuff is a worth of time.

    I done another test, with another w10 ISO on a virtual machine.

    Same issue.... Absurd

    Ok, now here's what I think we've missed. It should work. But you have to set explorer up to search the right thing.

    Thus:
    Open explorer, click Search, 'This PC', then enter your search term for D:.
    Go and make some coffee, phone a friend.... i.e. wait quite a few minutes. Searching... is displayed.
    Hopefully your search result will appear.

    Hi *Smile
    this always worked, for me.
    the problem remain in start button.

    There, the problem persist. *Sad

    Good. Yep, discard Win 10's start menu. Classic shell (freeware), Aston Menu (commercial).. (the latter's search is much faster than Classic shell's)... etc.

    Besides, it's unusable as a start menu (All apps) for anything other than a trivial number of desktop programs, and unreliable in inheriting a complex start menu folder structure. Cortana is easily broken and trying to serve too many different tasks at the same time. (And I need a start menu that expands my folders etc across the screen, not some small space where you have to scroll up and down)

    got the same problem as you drake. And I got bad news. I don't understand how this game is working so I decided to use a third party tool. You should check out lookeen free. It helps me to bridge the weak performance of the win search

    Thanks for your comment.
    I migrated my files in C: and created a lot of scheduled daily backup...

    This is the only way
