I was a complete idiot and used this without realising it would remove the start-menu search. (I know there's a warning, I just saw the download link and clicked it without thinking. Very stupid of me.) While Classic Shell works okay as an alternative, I miss certain features of the original Windows Search. I'd be incredibly grateful if someone could help me re-install Cortana (and the Windows Search).

Many thanks in advance.

(This didn't work.)

    If this does not turn out well, try looking at a start menu like Classic Shell with a custom icon. I hope someone with a bit more knowledge will come to help. – f3rn0s May 15 '16 at 15:01
  • @Tealkine Thanks for the response; I am currently using Classic Shell but I miss the standard Windows Search. If nobody is able to find a solution, Classic Shell will work, but it really bugs me that I don't have the original search anymore. – Jack Kapito May 15 '16 at 15:06
  • You will have to reinstall Windows, the method you used, prevents you from enabling it any other way. – Ramhound May 15 '16 at 16:27

    I wonder if a restore point (Windows Restore) will fix it – Moab May 15 '16 at 16:33

I just solved this problem myself.

Right click on 'Start'

command prompt (admin)

SFC /scannow

this will fix any missing / corrupted component in your windows 10. It will take ~10 min to complete.

hope this help.
