Outlook Search not showing Recent Emails (December-2021)

Hi Would someone help me trying to uninstall KB5008212?
Unable to uninstall, it shows in the list of updates, but not in the list of updates that may be uninstalled. When trying to uninstall via Command prompt it says it isn't installed; digging down it is indicated as being superceded.
It was insatlled on 17/12 (after 20h2), the next rollup KB5008876 was installed on 14/01 is also superceded. KB5010793 was updated today, but doesn't show in my list of updates!! (updates show as fully upto date).
I don't have system protection backups so unable to rollback Win10.
Any suggestion how to get rid of 8212 to resolve Outlook search issues?

In Windows, right-click Start, and then select Run. In the Open: box type regedit, and then click OK. This will open the registry editor.
Find this subkey in the registry and then click it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Click Edit > New > Key and name the new key Windows Search.
Select the new Windows Search key.
Click Edit > New > DWORD Value.
Type PreventIndexingOutlook for the name of the DWORD, and then press Enter.
Right-click PreventIndexingOutlook, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 1 to enable the registry entry, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart Outlook.
