Lost search function - (Win+F) and "Programs and Features" fail.
I am stuck and have actioned everything where I can in the following link : Windows Search - Turn On or Off.
Issues I have
1) NO search Tab on the folders option (only General and View)
2) [WIN] key + 'F' fails as there is no search box even though the pop up window appears
3) No search in the windows menu or on the top right of any explorer windows opened.
4) Ran "Programs and Features" in Control Panel tthe pop up window is empty, no list or tick boxes just plain blank white.
5) Ran troubleshooter for 'Search and Indexing' and get the following problems which cannot be fixed automatically :
6) In services activated search
"Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer."
I have searched the forums and other areas of the web. Everything is indicating that the function has been totally removed/disabled. I am unsure how."Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories" : Not Fixed (Red cricle with white cross' symbol)
"Windows Search service not running" : Not Fixed (Red cricle with white cross' symbol)
Oth links I have read and followed :
Search in Windows 7
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Lost the Windows search feature, even in services in comp management
When starting in services windows reports it can not find the specified file -system error 2.
Please help.
Thanks
