Reply to Start 10 search stopped working in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

A late update to this to report on how it was resolved. As I discovered, it was a wider issue with Windows Search (not a Start 10 issue). Puzzling as Search service was running and I could browse and search (via Windows Explorer) my Nasbox on the network, but not anything on the laptop itself! Indexing would not work and there were apparently no index locations. Found that a bunch or Search registry keys were completely missing. I expected DISM to sort that out but it and S

So it seems to be specific to the Start 10 start menu search.

cannot disable charms in Start8 Stardock Forums

I have used Start 8 pretty much since Windows 8 came out, and absolutely love it! In particular the turning off of the accursed charms bar! However, I recently installed it on a different laptop with a fresh install of Windows 8.1, and although I have the setting enabled to disable the charms bar it is not working. I still get the stupid charms bar appearing. Any thoughts?
