Services were deleted unexpectedly and local searched stopped working #217

Closed Rodger-D closed 7 years ago

Rodger-D commented 8 years ago

INFORMATION:

Problem: Both services were REMOVED and I cannot undo the changes.

Local Search from the start menu does not work. No results are returned no matter what is searched. Cortana is enabled. The start menu says "We can't connect to web search right now but you can still search your stuff. Make sure you are currently connected to the Internet." So I assumed it was hosts file. Reverting hosts file back to default did not fix the problem.

The problem with local search was fixed be enabling outbound traffic to 204.79.197.200.

I was able to restore the local search capability by allowing outbound traffic to the blocked IP 204.79.197.200 and restarting the PC. Local search works as expected now. The problem about the services being removed, and also disabled, is still a problem.
