    Windows 10 Cortana Search Not Working Real Fix

    This is the Cortana Not Working Search Fix and Cortana Right Click Fix. After searching on Google for a solution and I could not find it, I have decided to try and solve the Cortana Problem Myself and here it is the solution that works 100 % for everyone:

    1) Open CMD and write the command : sfc /scannow , Wait for the process to finish and then Restart the PC.

    2) U need to make sure to check That The Windows Shows the Hidden Folders, Files And Drives In Folder View Options, Need to Open This PC, Open Folder "View", Go to Advanced settings amd Choose The Option: Show Hidden Folders, Files And Drives Which Is Under Hidden Folder And File Options.

    3) Install Freeware Programs (This is for Deleting The Cortana Folder, which doesn't delete, because of Cortana Files in Use by Windows OS): LockHunter : https://lockhunter.com/ , or Unlocker for Windows : http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/unlocker.html and then Open one of those Programs and Delete the Cortana Folder which is found on: Users\YourUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy Folder and Delete It Completely With LockHunter, or with Unlocker, with Delete on next startup Option. Then U restart Your Windows 10 OS and on the next restart Cortana will rebuild the needed files itself and it will work 100 %.

    To check if the Right Click on Cortana is working just type : CMD in Cortana Search on Your Desktop and when It Finds and Shows up CMD , try to open it , or try the right click and if gives the options like: Run As Administrator; Open File Location; Pin to Start and Pin to taskbar, Then Cortana Search will work properly.

    Hope that this will help to many people here.

    I don't think it can find files that aren't indexed. I know I can go into Windows folder and literally look at a file and type it in search and it can't find it. I usually use 'Everything' which is super fast and will literally find every file on your hard drive.

    works fine , for how it should searching in the Startmenu only really search startmenu entries not the whole HDD, atlest it never did for me. then again one first things i disable is indexing on all drives, also have "allow cortana" disable in gpedit along with most of it search functions
