windows search missing from windows features

<< < (5/9) > >>

"I only run Win 7 so don't know if Windows Search is in Features in Win 8.1 as it is in Win 7 but would expect it to be."
It should be. I was talking about the other features I don't know about that might be missing from the list.
If sfc throws errors and dism doesn't, then sfc performs extra checks that the later doesn't do, right? At least that's my educated guess.
In any case, I'll run SFC tomorrow and see what happens

Boggin:
If sfc /scannow finds files it is unable to repair, you can run SFCFix.exe which will summarise what it cannot repair either which will mirror the CBS log, but without the rest that sfc /scannow was able to.

yep. i just found out about sfcfix hours ago.
good stuff.
MS needs to seriously develop a windows equivalent of os x's migration assistant. Windows repairs are brutal and a huge waste of effort. The current easy transfer wizard doesn't transfer applications.

Boggin:
Give them a chance - they are still struggling with Win 10 and Edge :D

garegin:
there is a third party tool, I think from EaseUS. but it requires a live computer. you can't migrate from a non-booting OS. I don't think MS is even thinking about it, because not many are even requesting it. Not only is this useful for corrupted Windows instances, but for migrating people's stuff to a new computer.
I once had a customer who needed a temp system but wanted to keep his everything, including settings within apps, extra fonts, keychain passwords. I just migrated it and everything was fine. That would have been a nightmare on Windows .
