Hello,

I installed Windows 8.1 but I have a small problem. When I had windows 8, when I started to search in the start screen Windows 8 began the research on my PC. But now on windows 8.1 this function does not work. But the bad thing is that on the other computers of my friends/family with windows 8.1 this function works!

What do I need to do to fix this issue? I need a clean install or just a refresh for example?

Thanks

Hi!!!A few minutes ago I found that Zemana antilogger was doing the same to my laptop!I was crazy thinking about what was going on with the auto search in the Start screen, and then (after hours of research and testing) found that Zemana was the culprit.I've contacted them to check this issue.

Update: I found the solution: the issue is produced when is open zemana antilogger that I have installed on my computer. If I close this app, the search will restart to works.

perhaps you have to try few times (2-3 times), without reboot then reboot pc, if the problem not solved then perhaps to refresh windows 8.1, i did not applied 8.1 to my windows 8 so did not experienced the problem.try this alsohttp://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/AppsDiagnostic.diagcab
