Hello, Everybody

I believe my search feature is not working correctly. I click on the start menu and begin typing to search. If I type cmd that is recognized. If I type calculator that is not recognized. I have some other programs installed as well, If I type Display Fusion that is not recognized. I also have a file on my desktop called imapsettings.jpg. If I search for that and click my stuff which I assume should be searching files on my computer I get opps something went wrong. Anything I search for and click my stuff I always get that same result.

Is my search broken? Or is the Win 10 search just really really bad?

Troubleshooting suggestions only :

Run a system file check to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....
sfc /scannow
> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime. When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports : (paraphrasing )
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successfully.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.
If report is #1. Your issue lies elsewhere.
IF report is #2, go see if everything is now working ok.
If report is #3, please do the following........
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
> press Enter.
Again, it will take some time. When finished it will give you a report.
If it says operation successful, go see if everything is now working ok.
