Performance :: Prevent From Search In Files When Searching In The Start Menu

Jan 26, 2016

when i search from the start menu, all i want to find is applications (desktop apps, metro apps, shortcus to apps in the all-applications menu) and settings, not files and folders. (i already disabled the web search there).

i still want to be able to search files when searching from antoher places, just not when searching from the start menu, so disabling the index is not an option for me.

Cannot Search By Typing On Start Menu Or Using Search Spyglass?

Oct 20, 2015

Win 10 Enterprise. Worked fine for a couple of days, but now I cannot seem to bring up the start menu and start typing anything. It will not search. I also tried in the search box or spyglass... I just click on it and nothing happens. It is a major inconvenience. I don't want to do a restore and keep my files, because there is a HUGE list of applications I will then need to restore. I also tried to click on Cortana, but clicking the app does nothing, doesn't even bring it up.

I tried re-indexing search items, I tried the search troubleshooter. I have rebooted, I have installed all updates. Someone on another forum said kill the Cortana task... well there isn't one running.

Taskbar And Start Menu Properties Have No Start Menu Tab Anymore?

Aug 1, 2015

Here's a screenshot of "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog from a fresh clean install of Windows 10 Pro x64

As you can see, despite its name, it does not have a tab for "Start Menu". I remember that Preview versions of Windows 10 had a "Start Menu" tab. Did they just remove at the last moment? And how I change Start Menu options without that tab?

Nothing Shows On Taskbar / Can't Use Search Or Start Button

Jan 2, 2016

I'm running Windows 10 and have been since it was first released. This morning I was playing a game, and my sound stopped working, so I rebooted my computer to see if that would fix it. It fixed the problem, but I had no icons pinned on my taskbar, no time & date, and the search and start button would not work. After hard-booting the computer for a second time, there was still nothing. When I open a program the icon doesn't show on the taskbar.

Unable To Search Executable Or Pinned Start Apps From Start Menu

Jul 28, 2015

I'm running the RTM on a netbook and have noticed that, unlike in Windows 7/8/8.1, I'm no longer able to hit Start and type in an executable. I have a bunch of portable apps that I typically type in and pull up. Now, the Start menu search pulls up ever OTHER file except the executable. It's very annoying and don't see why this shouldn't work.

What's worse, is if I pin the app to the start menu, it doesn't search it then. Say, I pin "puttyportable.exe" as a shortcut (and rename it to just PuTTY) to the start menu. Typing in "putty" gives me nothing - just the same associated files that were in the puttyportable folder (ini files, etc).

Start Menu Search Cannot Even Find App That Is Manually Pinned To Start

Aug 15, 2015

I installed Windows 10 very recently and I like it, but I have a VERY BIG show-stopper: when I try to do search in the start menu, it's terrible; it cannot even find an application that I have manually pinned to start. I didn't have any such problem with Windows 8.1. I have also installed some other desktop applications, for example GitHub for Windows, but when I start to to type "Git...", it only finds "GitHub" and it cannot find "Git Shell" and I have to go to all programs, find "G", then expand the folder for this application and run that application.

Start Menu / Search And Other Apps Won't Start From Task Bar

Aug 8, 2015

I have just upgraded from Win 7 Ultimate to Win 10 build 10240

The sart menu button does not activate anything, search doesn't either, Notification bubble does not open anything either.

Safe mode produces same behaviour, I have uninstalled AVG Anti virus as some people were correlating AV software with this behaviour.

I can right click on the start button but not left click

Start Menu Search

Sep 2, 2015

Search in Windows new start menu is annoying, each time web search using bing results are also shown, which is really unwanted. Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Search.We can enable the following 3 options to disable web search:

Do not allow web search.
Don't search the web or display web results in Search.
Don't search the web or display web results in Search over.

However, as usual I'm looking for a way to do this via registry.

Start Menu Search Not Working

Aug 10, 2015

When I start my computer, my Start Menu Search sometimes gets stuck in a start up or searching loop. The start menu itself works if I am just using my mouse to click icons. The issue is hitting the Windows button on my keyboard and typing.What is strange is that when this happens, if I log out then log in again, it starts up fine. While this is a workaround, I would like to solve the problem that is causing the problem.

I've tried re-indexing my entire computer based on a similar post I found here, but that did not work. Also - searching in a general Explorer window works fine showing the Windows Indexing does not appear to be the problem.

Start Menu Or Search Won't Open

Oct 11, 2015

I did a clean install of w10 from w7 a couple of months ago and everything has been running fine until about a week ago since when I've not been able open the start menue. Reading through other posts on line with the same problem has not provided a solution so far. I've ran the DISM/Online/Cleanup-Image/Restor Health and that "completed suucessfully" Then ran a fsc/scannow and that "did not find an integrity violations". I've tried to do a system restore but it fails saying a fil;e is preventing it, maybe the anti-virus.

Search Bar Missing From Start Menu?

Aug 22, 2015

my start menu. Originally, at the bottom there was a search bar. Then I installed Start10, made some changes, and then decided to uninstall the program and go back to the default start menu. The uninstallation required a restart, which I did, however now the start menu bottom search bar is gone. I tried going through the start menu settings but no luck. So I tried reinstalling Start 10, but it says that the computer must restart to finish the earlier uninstallation before a new install can begin. I have tried turning the laptop completely off multiple times but get the same result.

Start Menu Search Programs Only

Dec 12, 2015

When you open the start menu, is there a way that when you start typing, it displays only programs installed starting with those letters? Or at least show more than just the top 3 options?

In windows 8.1 you could have just your programs displayed, and typing would only search through those. (maybe there is also an extension to bring that back?)

Start Menu Search Not Finding Applications?

Jul 31, 2015

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

However once i install programs like Office 2013 i can't find the application exe files by searching in the start menu.

If i search for outlook or word in the start menu nothing shows up, this was not an issue in Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Is this a general issue in Windows 10 or do i need to change a setting somewhere?

Start Menu Search And Selecting Photos

Oct 11, 2015

I have two problems that may be connected.
 
My first problem is with searching on the start menu. On one computer i can click the Start Button and just start typing 'notepad', i net to 'note' and just press enter, this opens up Notepad. On my faulty computer though, i can type 'notepad' but nothing ever comes up. I just get the dots at the top moving endlessly. See the picture 'Start Menu', attached to this post.
 
My second problem is when I'm using the 'Photos' app. I go to select multiple photos and videos, then press copy, then i go to where i want to paste the files to (might be on hard drive, might be usb stick), but i just get the blue wait circle. Sometimes if I just select 10-15 photos, it will finally allow me to paste them, but if im selecting lots of photos AND video, the blue wait cirlce will never go (I have left it for two hours before).
 
I have run disk defrag, I have also deleted and rebuilt the search index by going into Indexing Options>Advanced>Rebuild.
