  1. Windows won't search within .SAS files


    For some reason, my Windows no longer searches keywords in the .SAS files on my computer. They're .SAS format, but they have a plain text filter. This was working up to about a week ago, so it's mysterious what settings could have been changed in a recent update.


    1. I've already updated the registry in this suggestion.


    2. I've updated this setting:

    Windows won't search within .SAS files 86e625da-84df-484f-b587-7a0381c27d27?upload=true.jpg


    3. Made sure this is selected:


    Windows won't search within .SAS files e24999d7-8b76-4f5b-a056-83400eb5bbd7?upload=true.png


    Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions to fix this?

    :)

    cortana won`t talk to me

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    It's unfortunate that you are facing this issue. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • Check and verify if Cortana is activated?
    • Does Cortana search and gives any output/result on screen?
    • Is the Language and region settings set to valid value?
    • Check and verify if Cortana available in your region?
    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try to turn Cortana off and then try turning it on back and check if she talks. Refer to the steps below to turn Off and On Cortana:

    • Open Cortana.
    • Click the hamburger button in the top left of the window.
    • Go to Settings and click on off.
    • Follow the same steps to turn it on.
    • Check if issue persists.
    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.
