Windows 10 Search shows blank box issue has been resolved

Microsoft has responded within 24 hours to a glitch with Windows 10, where users suddenly found that the search bar function was unable to located files held on personal computers.

The glitch was reported by hundreds of Windows users on February 5, 2020 (many of whom took to social media to complain). The issue with Windows 10 was due to part of the operating system’s core features stopping working. This meant that the Windows Search function was suddenly unable to locate files held on a computer.

This meant that when people keyed in a search term, instead of receiving the usual list of files (either in date order, file type or on the basis of relevance), Windows users found that when the desktop search was operated a blank box (gray in color) appeared with no files listed. The search bar is one of the most commonly used Windows features, and it is the general way by which people locate files and apps, as well as emails. The search bar is also useful for locating shared files where there is more than one user of a particular computer.
