Win 7 start menu search stopped working
In fact all windows type searches have stopped working.
I have looked at the many posts here and at microsoft but no change, main problem with microsoft ones are that they ask me to select control panel options that don't exist (I am a plug and play type so need to see stuff) or they ask me to go to start and type in something like indexing options. You guessed start search isn't working so that doesn't work.
I am fairly sure I need to rebuild the index but need to know how to get there if index search isn't working.
No idea when this may have failed so don't want to go to previous versions. I have windows update set to ask me, as it keeps trying to install IE10. I did run the 'stop install of IE10' fix but nothing happened. I have also had to restore to IE9 as the IE10 update got me as I thought it was blocked, I must have not run the blocker properly. Just mentioned in case that can cause the problem, it is the only 'system' type thing I have done.
I have had Kaspersky security on the PC for 2 years so shouldn't be that ?
Any help appreciated, also windows explorer search isn't working either.
