[unsolved] Trying to repair Windows Search after updating to Win11

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
Can you open a Powershell (Admin) and enter sfc /scannow to see what it reports.

BWB8771:
Thank you for the suggestion.

Not from an elevated PoSh prompt, but from the legacy CMD prompt,
I've run the /checkhealth + /scanhealth, as well as even running the /restorehealth against the Win11 upgrade *.wim
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:%sources%\install.wim

and then running SFC /SCANNOW

all to no avail.

BWB8771:
Hmm. oddly/interestingly, Windows Search is not visible in the GUI add/remove Windows Features NOR is the Event Viewer category "Microsoft-Windows-Search" present!

I have done this a couple of times
dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:"SearchEngine-Client-Package" (with /norestart AND rebooting)
then
dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:"SearchEngine-Client-Package"

Julian:

Julian,

Thanks for the suggestion - as that applies more to the display aspects of the search service, I'll give it a try when I can get search itself working.
