Classic Shell: Forum

Hi,

It appears that the new version 4.3.1 still doesn't fix the issue I have with "PC settings" on Creators update, and which I had reported here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6887#p32194

Basically in Classic Shell's settings, Search Box tab, enabling "Search PC settings" does nothing, search never returns anything from the modern PC settings. It used to work prior to creators update.

Nobody ever confirmed that they also saw the issue when I initially reported it though, so I'll ask again, is anyone also seeing this same issue, or only me?

If my issue isn't clear, what I expect to see is like what's in the 5th screenshot here
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1588

I am facing this issue too and have no idea how to fix it. Many items from PC Settings just do not get searched. But Cortana Search is able to find them. But it was working fine in Classic Shell when I had freshly installed Creators Update. It broke *after a few days* so I don't suspect Classic Shell broke it. In the past, it happened too and was fixed by upgrading to a newer build of Windows 10. Something in Windows 10 probably breaks at some point causing PC Settings search to stop working. I am glad I don't use this POS. I use Windows 8.1.

Thanks for confirming. Seems to confirm this as a real issue and not just me (in addition to the fact that I've done reformats/clean installs).
