Windows 11 - File Explorer - Search Contents fails
Yesterday I updated my 3 day old laptop to Windows 11. Today I moved some files into the My Documents folder, then I went to the upper right corner of File Explorer and entered the word I wanted to ...
DBP-User I have had the same problem since installing Windows 11. At work it is disabling to not be able to find and access document content . Any Microsoft update to solve this problem yet?
- As far as I am aware there is no reliable fix yet. The Beta version of 11 works only intermittently for some reason. I have resorted to backing up all my files to my laptop (which still runs under 10) locating files on the laptop so that I can find them on the desktop. Clunky I know. Agree it's a real nuisance.
AlbertRG that's interesting that you are having problems with the beta version and searching. as far as I can tell my beta indexes fine, with no issues, and I use this feature all the time. Of course, if it were missing results I might not know.
Shame on Microsoft for not only creating this problem but for refusing to even acknowledge that it exists
- Microsoft did their best to help me when I contacted them and helped me load the beta version.
I think they are just as bemused as we are when this problem arises.
