  • I am going to guess you remove everything within AppData\Local\Packages? Since you are using a Insider Preview build the best bet would be to perform a Reset on your installation.

  • Does this answer your question? Appdata/Local/Packages- safe to remove? Answer: Not safe at all.

  • @AhmedHalawa - Yes; You can indeed use the Reset. Reset does not require Windows.old to exist.

If you removed the whole Packages folder, you will have damaged many Windows Apps. You should not have done this.

I suggest the most effective repair now is to back up your data and reinstall Windows to fix the Packages issue.

If Production Windows 11 you can reinstall Production Windows 11.

If Windows 11 Insider, you need to reinstall Windows 10 and go back to Insider that way.

I Fixed It By Creating New Windows User with the same type (administrator) then I logged out from my account and entered the new one

then I tested the search and it's works well

so I took a back up from the folder "AppData\Local\Packages" of the older account then I deleted it's content completely then I copied the content of the new account folder "AppData\Local\Packages" into the old

after that I logged into the old account and it's works now well

Thanks every body .

  • That was lucky indeed. There may be some apps however that do not work as expected and you will only find out as you use and test apps.
