Question Anyone else finding Win10's (Start) search function isn't working today?

[mikeymikec]

I've got a new Win10 build (installed today) on my Internet connection, and when I do searches on the Start menu the menu just remains black. I got the same result on a customer's laptop with a different ISP. I'm wondering if the connection to Bing is up the creek in some way, perhaps just in the UK?

I saw an article somewhere about the latest Window 10 update broke that function for some users.

They fixed it! If it's still broken, there's a workaround.

Search on Windows 10 Was Borked, but Microsoft Says It Has a Fix

An issue with Windows Search that turned up blank boxes for many Windows 10 users on Wednesday appeared to be related to Bing, but Microsoft says it’s rolled out a fix for “most users”—and if you’re not one of them, there’s a workaround.

I guess I'm going to start registry-tweaking the Win10 installs I do! That 'BingSearchEnabled' key did the trick for me, thanks.
