The thing is that it's similar to an issue asked on Insiders Reddit as well and replied to by a person with a "Windows Employee" tag that this is a known issue and may be fixed in newer versions, which I can't test as I can't update.

That's why I want to know if there's any alternate way to get past this, as I can't access a lot of apps without Search.
