update history gone on Windows 10

<< < (5/7) > >>

Julian:
Hmm have you tried a restore on apps. Via windows recover in the settings app? Or is that not an option? The reason why I ask is because im not sure which version of window 10 you are using because there is an app command but Shane has it disabled on versions before the 318 if you can open up windows repair and it should show your version of windows 10 let me know.

I see that I have had a MS Silverlight (KB3162593 update installed on 6/25/2016. Hmm, shouldn't that have showed up in the action center notices?

I should also say that the sudden proper working of the News App seems to have had a cost: cannot open search. Related? Who knows.
I have been removing some programs that I no longer need (NOT apps; real desktop programs), but I would not think these would have any effect (programs such as Photomzer PRO, etc.).

According to "About" in settings/system, this is
WIndows 10 PRO, Version 1511, Built 10586.420

I am putting off trying to do a reset until I see what the anniversary update does for me. I am just amazed that these things seem to change at will (if the Silverlight update on 6/25 had anything to do with news app coming back, it waiting 4 days to do so.
FWIW, I do shut down the machine each day before leaving the house, so this gets rebooted once a day.

New: Start menu response slow since Silverlight update. Found article on changing delay in registry. Changed from 400 to 200. restart.
Start menu fast AND windows search tool now works. Connection between start menu response and search box? ????

Boggin:
Did that registry change have anything to do with Indexing options ?

To speed up the search, in Indexing options click on Advanced - Rebuild - OK - but this can take some time.

hdrabkin:
No, it was for adjusting the time that it takes the start menu to actually open after clicking on it. Was set to 400, I changed it to 200.
The problem with the search is that it would not open. If you clicked the icon, nothing happened. If you changed it to a text box, you could not type anything in; was greyed out. IT was like this after several reboots.
However, after  the reboot after changing the start menu delay, search was back to normal.
This all reminds me of a program that I use at work; java based. During it's development, the programmer would fix one item and the fix would break something that you would not have thought had anything to do with what he had fixed.
