I was kinda worried because my search box is not working. I usually use the search box when searching for files or programs on my win 7. But after the update they installed, twas deactivated! I googled for possible solutions but after minutes of doing research, here's the one that makes sense:
How to fix it manually:
1. Type regedit in Start menu search box and hit enter to launch Windows Registry Editor. Or, type regedit in Run dialog box (use Windows + R to launch Run) and hit enter to open the same.
2. Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{ef87b4cb-f2ce-4785-8658-4ca6c63e38c6}
3. Right-click on this sub key, and then select Delete.
4. Reboot your machine to fix the problem.
5. Done!
Or you can do it automatically, just follow these steps
1. Download the hotfix from Microsoft.
2. Install the hotfix and then reboot your machine.
