start menu search functionality


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am running Windows 7 Build 7127 and my start menu is not working like it should. I don't know if I changed a setting, but here's the problem:

Before, for exmaple, I used to be able to type "cmd" and command prompt would come up after I pressed enter. It says your search didn't find anything. Same goes for mspaint, etc.. what gives?

TIA

try this

go to control panel > program and features then clock "turn windows features on or off", clear the check box for "windows search"

restart your computer then go back in there and turn it back on.. restart again and hopfully it works

it could also be a indexing problem

so try this

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories then click search and indexing
