Hi Graham


Appreciate your reply, thanks. I had not spotted any online forums mentioning it, but if others, as you mention, have exposed the issue, I wonder if MS will do something about this useful index tool. Although I do find discussion around that Cortana is on it's way out.

Hi Andrew

It sounds like you have updated to windows 10 2004, they've broken the indexing 
in the search box in the latest release which is why it isn't working for you 
or me for that matter and if you google it then there are a lot of people 
having this problem.  I think as you open files etc using an alternative method 
the indexing Will build back up again.  There are various fix's suggested on 
the web but haven't tried any.  Cheers!  Graham

Subject: [access-uk] Searching PC hard drive

I used to use Cortana as a very quick way of going to sub-folders and files 
anywhere on my C: drive. Recently, it has stopped finding  folders and files 
and just wants to direct me to the web? Using Windows 10.

Have I accidently changed a setting. I have tried to set it to search for 
folders/files in settings, but it does not work?
