Hello, @TomB_in-Fla - Greetings!
Thanks for your continued participation on the HP Forums! I would like to help with your Windows spotlight issue 🙂
I would suggest you to follow the steps and check:
- Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
- Click File > Run New Task
- Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
- Type CMD
- Type the following 4 commands at the CMD prompt: (simply copy paste the commands to avoid any typos)
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
powershell
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
- Close the CMD window
Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC and check.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance.
Good luck 🙂
