Tech Help [Windows 10] Cortana/Search bar not working.

[Tyron]

Anyone know how to fix this? I am still waiting for a response from my Microsoft forum post as well but figured id ask here as well. Original post link below. Any solution suggestion are appreciated

Just did a fresh install of windows 10 on my SSD and my search bar doesn't work and neither does Cortana.


I have tried the following

• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
• sfc /scannow
  
• New account set to admin/local
  
• powershell
  Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  
• Restarting Windows search
  
• A startmenu program to fix it (used off microsoft site)
  Problem found: Required applications are not installed correctly

I am sure there are more I can let you know if I have done it when provided with possible solutions along with doing again just to double check.

probably should just create a new local profile and move over.

could be a missing registry tag
