| Nov 18, 2016 at 7:15 | comment | added | Arthur | For me the problem appeared to be in disabling "User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account" policy. Also StartMenu search doesn't need indexing or Windows Search service at all. | |

| Sep 7, 2015 at 17:09 | comment | added | boomhauer | I'm fighting this as well, but mine just seems to be extremely slow - if I wait between 7 to 10 seconds, it will usually find what I'm looking for. I can do the exact search again and it takes a full 7 to 10 seconds again, so it's not even caching previous searches. Very fast PC so this is frustrating. | |

| Aug 11, 2015 at 17:39 | comment | added | Augusto Barreto | I found that if you go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and open the shortcut "Search", it opens the "Search Everywhere" feature from Win 8, and there all the apps appear, so it has to be a bug in the new search UI of win 10, and not in the indexing options. I just wish that "win + s" could open "Search Everywhere" instead of Cortana. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 14:41 | comment | added | Augusto Barreto | I'm experiencing the same issue and I did a fresh install of windows 10 yesterday. This is so annoying. | |

| Aug 3, 2015 at 16:34 | comment | added | CleverPatrick | Nope. If I type "mspaint" it finds "Paint, Run Command". Let me see if i can find the search settings and see if something isn't checked correctly. (edit: there doesn't seem to be an option for this) | |
| Aug 3, 2015 at 16:32 | comment | added | MC10 | When I search for paint, it finds "Paint, Desktop app". You don't see the Paint app at all? Did you change Cortana or Search settings? | |
