Immediately following the update, certain keys on the keypad stopped working. Not stopped working outright, which is why I don't think this is a hardware issue, but there is something wrong on the right half of the keypad, specifically the keys that are mapped with the number pad on them. Aug 01, 2016 For Search to work properly in Windows 10, you need to make sure the Windows Search service is working actively. To do that, open Run by hitting the Windows and R key on your keyboard at the same time. After that, type in services.msc and the Services dialog should open. From there, scroll down and find the Windows Search service.
Recently, I have observed the Search feature of the File Explorer does not work (e.g., No items match your search). The folders I'm searching are indexed. I've tried rebuilding the index. I can even drill down to a folder I know contains the sought file and entering a search word in the file's name and search returns nothing.
For example, D:UsersClayton is indexed with no exclusions (all subdirectories included). I can search from D:UsersClaytonBooks for 'code'. That folder has many subfolders with files containing 'code' in the filename/contents. Yet search returns nothing.
D:UsersClaytonBooks is shared to my HomeGroup. I thought perhaps that might be a factor. However, even if I stop sharing, the results are the same. Most of my existing shared folders exhibit this behavior. However, if I add a folder to my Homegroup, search seems to work.
I just don't get it. I have successfully performed searches like this in Windows 7 all the time. Is Windows 10 just broken?
UPDATE: From my laptop (also Win10), I can search the Books HomeGroup share and find matches. However, going back to the desktop machine where the share resides, the same search fails.
UPDATE 2: On my desktop, if I remove D:UsersClayton from my indexed locations, searches work. This is repeatable. When indexed, search fails. When not indexed, search works. WTF?
