Just a quick reminder I have used all methods and resetting my pc was the only way I would make it work but just from my present experience of resetting I want to tell you all that it may take even an hour like mine did and have connection issues with one drive. It will definitely take mote more than 40 min , so just remember to finish all your work you wanna do and note down the apps which will be deleted because you will need to reinstall them again

For those of you having issues with your password being incorrect in safe mode, and can't get out of the lock screen, type in your Microsoft password instead of your pin. If you are having this issue the only way to get it out of this state is to type your Microsoft password. Saved me from getting a new PC. Hope this helps people.

You forgot to mention the thing where you dig down into the control panel and reset the indexing settings. That works perfectly for me every time! :-) however, it is really annoying and almost impossible to find unless you know where to look. I had to dig through several internet forums just to find it, because it obviously wouldn't appear with the lack of start menu search results, and it also doesn't show up in the Windows 10 settings app.

[@WindowsChimp]

Thanks for mentioning...

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

@@WindowsChimp You are so very welcome!

[@Cestlavie-7]

Would you please explain it in steps? I would be very grateful, Thank you.

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

@@Cestlavie-7 It seems to be a lot easier now with the latest update installed: 1. From your Desktop, hold down the Windows Logo Key and press i. 2. When the settings menu comes up, click on either "Search", "Cortana", or "Cortana And Search", the name simply depending on whether or not (and if so, then how strictly) you've hacked Cortana out of your life. I did it fully, so I had to choose "Search". 3. The rest should all be the same. Next, click the "Searching Windows" tab on the left. 4. Scroll down to the bottom and pick "Advanced Search Indexer Settings". 5. Click or tap on the "Advanced" button. 6. Finally, choose "Rebuild".
