When I attempt to search for newly installed programs via the start menu search, they do not appear. Uninstalled programs will contiune to appear search in the results after having been removed. This issue only affects program results, not file results.
I have tried restarting the windows search service, restarting windows explorer, restarting the computer and rebuilding the search index. I have also tried running the windows search troubleshooter but it said it was unable to find an issue.
Troubleshooting steps I have attempted:
I attempted an in-place installation.
I ran these commands in the order shown in the cmd:
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
I have followed these steps:
Method 1. Repair Windows Store apps:
1. Download the Windows Store App Troubleshooter. Link below.
2. Temporarily Disable the Anti-virus
3. Run Powershell
4. On Powershell(admin), copy and paste the command below:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Method 2. Reset update and app components
Open Powershell with Admin or CMD with Admin (Press Windows key + X then click Windows Powershell(Admin))
Copy each line of command to Powershell then press enter (one line at a time)
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc
Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"
rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q
rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q
regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll
regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll
regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll
netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset proxy
net start bits
net start wuauserv
net start appidsvc
net start cryptsvc
I have had this issue before and I performed a clean installation but the issue returned. I can not reinstall Windows every time this happens.
The only thing that has helped me so far is to go into safe mode, kill SearchApp.exe and delete "Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy" in my appdata.
Doing this will update the program search results however it will not continue to update. If I go on install/remove more programs those changes won't be reflected in the search results until I delete the folder again.
If you have any suggestions on how I might be able to fix this without resetting/refreshing my Windows installation or creating a new account, please let me know! As I stated before I can't reinstall Windows every time this happens. I really need to find a solution. Thanks for your time!
