Though there are no official statistics on how often this happens (at least that we&#8217;re aware of), there have been reports on this in the past.

This is because Microsoft frequently ships fixes to reported issues &#8211; including issues with searches in Windows updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check whether you have the latest update in Windows 11, you can simply type in &#8220;Windows Update settings&#8221; in the Windows search bar, then select the menu from the search results. You&#8217;ll be redirected to a new window where it&#8217;ll tell you whether the latest update has been installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t have the latest updates, you&#8217;ll need to install them and then restart your system to see if it fixes your search issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"restart-windows-explorer-file-explorer\">Restart Windows Explorer \/ File Explorer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another easy method to fix search issues is by restarting the file explorer from the Task Manager. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Task Manager by typing in &#8220;Task Manager&#8221; in the Windows search bar > click on the search results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Task Manager window, scroll down until you find File Explorer. Right-click on it and select &#8220;Restart&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"454\" data-lity src=\"https:\/\/winfindr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Restart-File-Explorer.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winfindr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Restart-File-Explorer.png 600w, https:\/\/winfindr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Restart-File-Explorer-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"restart-windows-font-cache-service\">Restart Windows Font Cache Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is one of the least complicated ways to fix Windows search not working.

Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Task Manager by right-clicking on the Windows start menu > select Task Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the Details tab, look up SearchUI.exe (Windows 10) or SearchHost.exe (Windows 11).

Here&#8217;s how you can use it on Windows 11:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Command Prompt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the new Command Prompt window, type in the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>msdt.exe -ep WindowsHelp id SearchDiagnostic<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Troubleshooter will open; click the &#8220;Next&#8221; button.

Here&#8217;s the step-by-step on how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Windows Settings by clicking the Start menu > select &#8220;Settings&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the new window, select &#8220;Privacy &amp; security&#8221; menu > select &#8220;Search&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down until you find the &#8220;Related settings&#8221; menu, then select &#8220;Advanced indexing options&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"472\" data-lity src=\"https:\/\/winfindr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Open-advanced-indexing-options.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winfindr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Open-advanced-indexing-options.png 600w, https:\/\/winfindr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Open-advanced-indexing-options-300x236.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the new &#8220;Indexing Options&#8221; window, select the &#8220;Advanced&#8221; button.
