  3. After windows 11 update, search not showing the applications installed in laptop?

    After windows 11 update, search not showing the applications installed in laptop?.

    It shows only files and folders not the applications. Tried the below troubleshooting steps but the issue still persist.

    Restart searchhost.exe service via task manager



    Search setting.

    Open Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Searching windows

    Turn off -> Respect power settings when indexing

    Select -> Enhanced (To search entire PC)



    Restart windows search sevice

    Index rebuild

    Reset PC

    After reset PC it is working but in few days again it is not working. Any other suggestions or troubleshooting steps for this issue?

    Windows 10 Settings App Search Not working

    Thank you for providing some suggestions.

    I performed step 1, and at the end of the test, it reported "No changes or updates are necessary."

    I then performed step 2 and received the same message at the end of the test.

    After running the two tests above, I opened up Settings and typed "privacy", which should show some help categories (It does on my other Windows 10 computers). However, on the one computer there is no help information. It states "No result for privacy".
    It appears the Settings app help information list is empty or not found. Typing a single character, e.g., 'p', into the search box displays "No result for p".

    Any further suggestions are welcome.

    Is there a convenient way to have windows 10 try to repair itself without uninstalling my software and/or loosing all of my personal data.

    Regards...
