Hi,

After upgrading to W11 Pro the SEARCH Does not work. When trying to use it , lines scroll across the screen for a few secs then stops.

- SEARCHUI is also missing.

- Search & Indexing Troubleshooting , SFC       Scannow & CTFMON.exe have been run.

- CORTANA has been repaired/ reset.

 

Anyone repaired SEARCH problem ?

Thanks.

Solved the issue by re-downloading & re-installing Windows 11 then running the Search Troubleshooter ( under Other Troubleshooters ) which identified Search errors then fixed them. Rebooted immediately after and the Search worked properly.

Thanks again for your assistance.
