    Windows Search problem after latest update


    I used to be able to find a file "amount.docx" after simply typing "am" - but for some reason, it now only finds the file after typing "amo". Typing "am" yields no result. Please see screenshot below.I've restarted Windows Search service and Reindex the search without success. Just curious if this is a known issue or if other users have encountered something similar. Other searches with just two letters seem to work just fine.

    :)

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    need KB4048970 if using Vista - that's the latest win32k.sys patch. while it's listed for Windows Server 2008 only, it should also install & work under Vista SP2 as I've tested myself on an old Vista machine.

    for Win7 SP1, KB3172605 or better to speed up Windows Update searches as noted here:

    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'.

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    Everything is working correctly with the current implementation and KB3172605 is already included in the current battery of 7 patches.
