Hello,
I have no search function operation from the Start button. I click the start button and begin typing. No searching happens, just the tiles display to the rt.
I cannot type in the Cortana search box also.
I did complete the instructions below. I could not respond to that post which is why I'm posting it here.
Hey Guys
I installed Win 10 on my system recently and everything was running fine.
Its not even been a few days and now the search function for setting is not working.
If I search in settings directly, no results are returned for any query.
If I search using Cortana or Start menu, the results do include settings related results, but as soon as I select them, the settings app opens with the same result.
Kindly advise
