Posted July 21, 2016 I keep having this problem, that I can't search for anything apart from Windows settings (like control panel, device manager etc). When I look for a file, it doesn't find anything. And only shows 'These results may be incomplete' with a spinning circle next to it. I checked the indexing option, re-indexed and all seems to be fine. Sometimes, it would really be convenient to have the search tool at hand..

Instead of searching your entire drive have you tried searching the area you think the file is located? (i.e. Documents, Pictures etc.) The only thing we have to fear is... Stupidity...

Posted July 21, 2016 this is the #1 problem people are having with windows 10, i've even had it on fresh installs. The only reliable fix i've found is to reload the machine, and even that sometimes breaks later down the road.
