If you like privacy then Cortana is not recommended anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, this problem has nothing to do with this update. This all is Your damaged computer problem. screenshots Reveal hidden contents Do you know that each computer has its own hardware and that a Windows update can affect one computer and not another? If your computer is not affected it doesn't mean that another cannot be.

This kind of idea comes to Your head, that computers can be different, but it doesn't come never to mind that not all people are equal. Everyone just doesn't have the same abilities. That's why you have to accept that you're smart and I'm not. I just don't have such an ability to become so smart as You. But as smart as You are, haven't You come to the point of deviating from the subject and began again insulting people personally for their abilities? Maybe this should not be the case, though? You seem to forget who began insulting people personally for their abilities ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFSniper Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 here from our Friends Deskmodder.de This Help Search in the Windows 10 taskbar is currently not working [Workaround] (5.02.) Posted by w-karp »05.02.2020, 18:55 Hi there, the problem is old hat for Microsoft and for Windows 10. Here is the solution to this problem. Microsoft has a PowerShell script called ResetWindowsSearchBox.ps1 that you can run. However, some preliminary work is required because the script itself does not go through so easily. You have to deactivate the protection policy first. And so it goes: Download the ResetWindowsSearchBox.ps1 from Microsoft (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/100295) Start Windows Key + X and PowerShell as administrator Enter the command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted" and press Enter and confirm with Y for Yes Right click on the ResetWindowsSearchBox.ps1 and execute with PowerShell. Confirm only M for once in the selection. Once everything has been deleted it says "Done" Now enter the command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Restricted" and press Enter and confirm with Yes. This activates the protection again so that no scripts can be executed without your permission. Ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
