    This problem has been driving me crazy and I tried every solution on the internet with no results until running across your video. Thank you so much for posting this. Even after speaking to Microsoft I couldn't fix the problem. I knew it was an error that happened during install and files were corrupted I just didn't know how to fix this until you posted this video. For anyone that still couldn't use search after following these instructions please remember to restart your computer or laptop and then try again.

    But what happened is so amazing,
    I fix the both of them by following you're video tutorial.

Just one more hint: I also removed last update from Microsoft and I am now installing again, while windows defender on. You might consider to install antivirus after again. And be patient with restart updates some can take an hour. Do not off the computer.

    I need help. It appears that there was an installed on 7/19/2021 - kb5005254 and then another one kb5004945 installed on 7/13/2021. A service pack was installed july 12, 2021. The 20H2 update was installed on 5/18/21. After that May 2021 install my files dissappeared but I was able to find them and all was great.
    I come home this weekend (after these July 2021 updates) to try and use the computer and the search bar is not working (currently trying your fix) and most importantly I can't find my files anywhere. I have gone to "users" and there is nothing there anywhere. I"m desperate for help. Not sure what else to do and of course making things worse is that I cant even use the windows search bar to try and apply all the fixes i find online. I heard that it may be because there is a temporary user profile ? but when I check that - it shows i'm logged in. I dont know what else to do. Please help.
