HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search is corrupted

(1/2) > >>

garegin:
The Windows search service is not running and is actually missing from the services.msc list. I created a backup of the entire HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search "tree" and is attached here. I think some subentries from that tree are missing.
Also Windows Store doesn't start up, I don't know if this is related or not.

Shane:
That isnt the right registry location, if Windows Search is missing from the services list then you need to check and see if
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WSearch

is there and if it isnt that is the key you need to import from a good system.  :wink:

garegin:
OK, I did that already and it still doesn't show up in the services.msc. I tried to attach the entire services tree, but the file is 4MB and the forum says that its too big

Hi, You could just use print screen and copy to Paint program in the accessories and save as png or jpeg. It could be uploaded in the forum easily as jpg file attachement

Sounds he needs to re-register them?
