  1. Windows Search not working anymore after March Updates


    Ok so i recently updated my pc with the latest updates and now Windows Search doesnt work anymore, when i open the search bar it crashes and closes inmediately, i can not even type something on it because it crashes and closes. I've tried many possible solutions and none has worked, for example,


    Run sfc /scannow, the first time i ran it, it said that it found corrupted files and successfully repaired them, but i restarted my pc and windows search still not working, i ran the command again and it said that there were no corrupt files to repair,


    I also tried logging into another local account i have on my pc and in that account windows search was yes working, but in my principal Administator account is not working...


    Please someone help.

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    Pros:
    • No need for a script, easy to apply manually
    • Much smaller download, seems that KB3020369 is not required, only SP1 is needed
    Cons:
    • Windows Update Client downloaded by the script is newer (June 2016 version is included in KB3172605 instead of March 2016)
    • You will still need to download/install hundreds of updates afterwards, most of them are already included in KB3125574 and installed by the script

    To turn off windows updates in windows 7 follow these steps:

    Click the start button, in the search box type in 'windows updates', click on 'windows update'
    in the search results list, in the left side of the windows update window click 'change settings'
    then in the option bar select 'Never check for updates'.

  4. Windows Search not working anymore after March Updates

    windows 10 updates-March 2018

    I have March updates that will not install. The automatic updates for 2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1709 for x64 based system (March KB4088776) were activated and downloaded to my computer, but they will not install on shutdown/restart.
    When I check for updates, it shows that the updates are downloaded, but when I click to uninstall, there is not a date for installation. I have researched the Windows suggestions for this problem. They tell me to remove the January 2018 updates (January
    KB4056892) and then reinstall the March update. When I attempted to uninstall the January update, I could see the update listed in the check for downloads screen, but when I click uninstall, the January update has a different reference number. Please advise.
    I have talked to my technology department and they can't determine next steps either. VERY FRUSTRATING. I need my computer for work.
