Windows 10 Search can’t find ANY applications. Even calculator

I have problem with Windows 10 Enterprise N x64.When I press “Start” and start to type application name it never finds it.

I can’t even find applications like “Calculator”, “Microsoft Word” or any other. Just moving dots and I let it run for 30 minutes without any success.

PS. There is chance that this will not work for you if you did upgrade instead of clean install of Windows 10. But you can always try.

Solution:

I have no idea why or what I have broken in the process.But here is what worked for me.

  1. Ctrl+Shift+Right-click on an empty part of the taskbar and clicking “Exit Explorer” (or kill it via Task Manager if that doesn’t work).

  2. Delete this registry key.

  1. Start process Explorer.exe via Task Manager.
