uh hello guys in this video I will show
0:02
you some fixes if your search bar in
0:04
Windows is not working search bar is
0:06
actually this thing at the bottom side
0:09
corner of the screens here you can
0:11
actually search for any sort of program
0:13
let's suppose I search for control panel
0:15
it's for easy navigation if this search
0:17
bar is not working for your system then
0:20
I will show you some fixes so first of
0:22
all you need to open task
0:24
manager and inside this there is a
0:26
service called as search host if you see
0:30
this is actually the service it's having
0:32
multiple services dependent upon it just
0:35
make sure that you right click this and
0:39
simply end task just do this and it will
0:43
restart and just restart your computer
0:46
after doing that if it is working if
0:48
it's not working then you try the second
0:51
one which is you again go to type your
0:56
services and right here there is a
0:59
service called as Windows search if you
1:02
see there is a service which is
1:05
specifically built for Windows search if
1:07
you see
1:09
that try to restart this or it is not if
1:14
it is not running click the start button
1:16
if it's already running then simply
1:19
uh say restart this or simply disable it
1:25
and once again start this for disabling
1:28
it you do
1:30
this and uh you will see in my case it's
1:35
already running so if it's if in your
1:37
case it's not running click the start
1:39
button
1:41
so after that the next step if it's
1:45
still not working you first of all clear
1:48
out the catch so for clearing out the
1:51
catch you need to go to the C directory
1:55
so there is a folder called as program
1:57
data by default this folder will be
2:00
hidden it will be appearing like this
2:03
after that you need to go to the Windows
2:07
uh program data yeah so there is a
2:10
Microsoft folder if you see inside this
2:14
folder you will be actually be seeing a
2:18
folder for the search specifically built
2:21
for search go to this folder go to data
2:25
and for this you need the administrator
2:27
privileges so and then you need to go to
2:30
this
2:31
applications and windows and right here
2:35
you actually delete this
2:38
Windows this file here windows
2:44
uh this file Windows EDB file right here
2:49
database
2:50
file and uh just to reset the Windows
2:54
service so this is actually the search
2:57
catch catch the if you see this is your
3:01
file here Windows EDB file which is the
3:03
search database catch sometimes the
3:06
catching can create a problem so just
3:08
delete this file to clear out all the
3:11
catch and then restart your system if
3:14
it's still not working uh you can
3:17
actually
3:18
uh go to
3:21
service I think I already told you this
3:24
one which is yeah I think I already told
3:28
you this one window search this
3:34
one yeah I think I already told you just
3:37
restart this the next one is your
3:42
uh go to settings if it's still not
3:45
working and there is actually a uh
3:49
privacy and security this is actually
3:51
the option which comes after that you
3:54
need to go to search
3:58
windows this is the one searching
4:01
windows go to this option and right here
4:04
you will see indexed and what you need
4:09
to do right here you can actually reset
4:14
everything for resetting it you you can
4:17
in the advanc option if you see there is
4:20
will be an advanc
4:27
option if you
4:30
just Yeah so advanced indexing options
4:33
go to this option and here you can
4:36
uh this one will be there go to advance
4:40
and there will be this option right here
4:42
rebuild and uh just click this option if
4:45
you're uh to rebuild everything to reset
4:49
the windows search so I think this
4:52
option will work for majority 99% of the
4:55
time because uh in the search bar some
4:58
catching will problems are there so for
5:01
fixing that simply click this rebuild
5:04
button it will take uh somewhat uh
5:06
around 20 to 25 minutes just wait and
5:09
then restart your computer and this will
5:12
fix your problem if it's still not fixes
5:16
your problem guys there is another
5:17
solution that I will show you go to
5:19
PowerShell and there is a command i have
5:22
given this command in the
5:24
description so this command you need to
5:27
execute so this command will do the
5:29
magic for you it will actually reset
5:31
everything
5:33
i can't execute this because I already
5:35
executed
5:37
so this is actually the command here so
5:40
I have given this command just execute
5:42
this PowerShell uh first of all run this
5:45
PowerShell with run as administrator you
5:48
should have the administrator right
5:50
simply execute this command after it
5:52
finishes you just need to restart your
5:55
PC if if it's still not working guys
5:59
then it's a Windows 10 solution i think
6:03
there is a service called as uh if you
6:06
go to your task
6:16
manager just wait go to task manager and
6:21
I think in Windows 11 Cortana is not
6:24
there but you can still try there will
6:27
be this service which will be
6:30
Cortana In Windows 11 this is not there
6:33
but in Windows 10 there will be a
6:35
service called as C O R T A N A just
6:38
search for this service and also uh
6:41
restart that service disable it and
6:44
restart that's all and just make sure if
6:47
you are updating your uh Windows machine
6:51
or not just make sure that you are
6:53
updated you should see this icon
6:56
appearing if your Windows updates are
6:58
missing simply click on check for
7:00
