I just updated the windows 10 to its latest version yesterday and i noticed that i had encounter an issue. Whenever i type in the search bar for a software that i want to open, the search bar will find the software for me but when i click it, it will not open the software, i cant right click it as well. And I end up having to scroll down manually after clicking the start button and find the software that i want to open. Is there anyway to resolve this problem?

ive been trying to figure this out too actually.

ive only noticed it with windows apps though, like the calculator. everything else seems to work fine.

 

ive heard if you re-register cortana, it can fix it.

 

run Power-Shell as admin and type or copy/paste

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

it didnt work for me but its worth a shot.

Okay cool, so i managed to get the Powershell working. And I copy the whole thing in and press enter but nothing happen. Did i copy the correct thing in?

 

I copied " {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} "
