How to Fix Windows 10 Search is not working

Originally posted on HariHaran Subramanian

As the title states you're here reading this to fix 💩 your windows 10 Search. So this recently happened to me as well on the latest version of windows. This seems to be a issue from MSFT end that alot of users are affected due to this issue. 💥

• I have came across alot of blogs asking to try to update / troubleshoot windows update, but all those things did not resolve the issue for me.

• Here's the final working method ❕❕.

• All you need to do is execute tje below commands one by one from a Adminstrator command prompt.
  

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search /v BingSearchEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search /v CortanaConsent /t REG_DWORD /d 0

• You don't have to restart your computer. The search will now work normally.

PROOF 🔥

Thanks for reading! ✌️ ✌️

Stay tuned for more blogs 👐

Well, I think there is already a hot-fix from Microsoft team to fix search problem.

Yes, mine is working correctly again without doing anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

Instead of fixing windows slow search mechanism, I am using "everything" much faster and can make complex searches like "all video files has 'cool' but 'nottocool' in name"

Search has been fundamentally broken since Windows 10 first came out years ago. Kind of pathetic that it's not been addressed and here we are in 2020.

My search did not come back on its own. I have added the command line commands and it is now working fine. Thank you very much for your help. :)
