Windows Central Question
I installed updates today and now when I hit the start button, I can not type into the Start Menu Window to search my computer. Nothing at all happens.
Please note I have disabled Cortana in both the registry and the local security policy.
I have removed all traces of Bing from my system that I can find again through the registry and the local security policy.
I want my search to work as it did in 7, where it searches my computer.
It was working just fine as I wanted it to, until I did updates today. At that time, the updates broke calendar, Xbox, and one other program. I have found some power shell scripts to reinstall these to a working state except XBox, as I'll never use it. Search functionality came back briefly, but it stopped working very shortly thereafter.
What could be causing this? Are there any error logs that may apply?
I rebooted the computer again and now the Calendar app is broken again and refuses to update, and XBox is still broken. I find it hysterical that I have to go to the store to find out what the error code is, and then it is a picture so I can not highlight the text and copy it. The error code for Mail and Calendar is 0x80073D0A and the code for XBox is the same. The internet nor Microsoft themselves have any information about the error.
When I try to launch edge, it opens and then quietly disappears.
I have checked for further updates, but there are none.
I have tried both of the solutions below to no avail.
I have tried creating a local account and it has the same problem.
I ran sfc /scannow and everything checked out at %100.
Method 1:
Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select Command prompt (admin).
Enter the below commands one by one and hit Enter key.
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
It will open the PowerShell window.
Now enter the below command and hit Enter key.
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
If the issue still persist, follow the below method.
Method 2:
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 Powershell
Type the following in the Powershell prompt:
$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest
Close the Powershell window
Reboot the computer and check if it helps.
