    Start Menu search not working after reinstall


    I performed a reinstall of Windows 10 build 10532.
    Since then, Start menu search shows no results.
    Attached a pic, showing DC++ pinned to start, but still not showing during search.

    Please help
    This is really frustrating

    I had the same problem after doing a reinstall of Win10 late last night. I thought I'd broken something. But thankfully, about 2pm today, the search function suddenly started working as expected. Perhaps it takes time for the search indexing function to "rebuild", or something.

    Try starting Cortana, that might help.

    Run the command: sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt, to run the System File Checker.
    Restart after the scan is over and see if it helped.
