my search function in the start menu is broken.
So when I enter a search term in the "Search programs and files"
field nothing happens.
Also when i double click on explorer.exe, it gives me this error:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing
this action. Please install a program or, if one is already
installed, create an association in the Default Programs control
panel."
All userprofiles , also the newly generated ones, are affected by
this error.
I tried all kinds of registry fixes but nothing helps.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with these updates
because when I restore my system to a point before these updates,
there are no errors. Then auto-update installs these updates and the
error comes up.
So the cause of this problem has to be one of the updates mentioned above.
At least I think...
please help
