If you’re looking for how to fix search problems in Windows 10, then you’ve come to the right place.
One of the most useful features of Windows 10 is the ability to search the files on your PC or laptop – as well as the internet – directly from the search box on the taskbar.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has released a number of recent updates for Windows 10 that have introduced issues to how search works in Windows 10 – both from the taskbar and when using Windows Explorer.
For most Windows users, the search bar is the number one utility. If you want quick access to the File Explorer, apps, documents, and email, simply enter a keyword on the search box to get results.
