Search boxes have disappeared after W7 Update
Last week c. 11-Apr-2015 I rebooted my laptop and it actioned a pile of updates. After restart the start menu search box had disappeared. (Press the start menu and it should be below 'all programs', but it's gone). I moved the taskbar in case it was hiding - not there. I created a new account in-case one of my tweaks had made it go away - not showing in there either. Now I realise the the explorer search box (top right corner) is gone as well.
The search box was the only thing that made the W7 start menu half usable, and they've taken that away. And the file filter - how I'd love to see the XP search window with the stupid doggy now.
Anyone else seen this? Explain what's going on?
