Nikilet Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 So why am I writing to Emsisoft about this? Because I used that search box when I first booted my computer this morning. Then I got notification that Emsisoft had upgraded to a new version. I received a strange pop up that Macrium Reflect would no longer run at startup, which I don't understand. So I was going to use the search box to find "Services" so that I could make sure Macrium is set on automatic startup. The search box is no longer accessible so I'm wondering if this Emsisoft update could have anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapp Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Have you tried a reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikilet Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 No, because this all happened immediately following a boot. But I kept messing around and I finally do have the search box working. Thank you for your quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0unds Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 There's a bug in Win10 that can cause the search box not to work (regardless of whether you or not you have EAM/EIS installed) - the easiest way I've found to "fix" it, aside from just rebooting is to restart explorer via taskmgr.

Nikilet Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thank you very much m0unds for this info. It brings up another problem I've encountered with Windows 10. When I go to Task Manager, I don't find the explorer.exe in the schedule of background processes like I used to. So what do I look for in order to shut explorer down. Is it referred to by some name in Win 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it referred to by some name in Win 10? if you bring up taskmgr and it's a small window that has no tabs, click "more details" at the bottom left of the window. once it expands, click the "details" tab and you should see it there.

Nikilet Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes, I have TM expanded, but explorer does not appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0unds Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes, I have TM expanded, but explorer does not appear. your screenshots are cropped - do you have tabs at the top of the window like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Just to be certain, we're talking about the Cortana search field on Windows 10, right? There shouldn't be anything that EAM would do that could cause the Cortana search field to disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikilet Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yes, that's what I'm talking about. It's working now. I have no idea what happened. I just checked with you guys because of the fact that EAM had just done an update. Thanks for checking back! Have a wonderful rest of the day!
