    Hi, I recently built a new PC and install windows 10 on it. Then i connected my old Laptop drive to quick copy all of my documents. When I reconnect my old drive to my old Laptop, the Windows 10 search function didn't work. I cant search files or programs, many of the programs cant be use any more, the installation is broken sometimes, the Mega syncs have problems with files permission. I try so many YouTube tutorials about how to fix indexation problems but any of this work for me.Any suggestions?

    :)

    My search is not functioning

    1. Use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-Esc to open the Task Manager.
    2. If you see only a handful programs listed by it click on the "more details" link.
    3. Locate "Cortana" under background processes.
    4. Right-click on the process and select "end task" from the context menu.
    The Cortana process is reloaded right away by the operating system.
