Because your PC doesn't care about Flowers and Candy!

Microsoft continues to break search, this time breaking Windows Search while we wait for them to fix File Explorer Search. Here's a quick fix to get your Search back online.


Optionally, we've created the registry files you need if you're not comfortable editing the registry.



Open the Registry Editor and enter:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search

in the search bar at the top.



Double-click on CortanaConsent and change the Value data to 0 if it isn't already.

Right-click on a blank spot in the right windows and select New > DWORD (32-bit Value).

Name the new DWORD BingSearchEnabled and again verify the Value data is 0.

Reboot.
