I have a problem with the search service in Windows 8.1:
When I search a folder (including its subfolders), it shows the results for a few seconds, but then closes automatically. I'm not able to study the search results or open the files.
I didn't have this issue 2 days ago when I had preformed my last search; I just woke up today and wasn't able to search anymore!
Please help me fix this problem, since a good part of my work depends on being able to look back at parts of various documents.
Note: The search is performed correctly and it gives me accurate results (judging by the few seconds I'm able to view them!) but it just won't remain open.

Thanks a lot!!! Your suggestion worked and I can search again with ease. You've saved my life!I have Kaspersky Internet security and I thought it would provide adequate security, do I need an antilogger?Thank you again so much.

hithanks for your reply, glad that it solved the problem, if i guess correctly it is the cmd method that solved the problem?Kaspersky Internet security do protect your pc and online activity. Antiloggers are different and some do offer more features, needing antilogger well if you spend time online banking if you are always getting malware infection alerts.....then additional layer of protection can be useful. You can try zemana antilogger, it is compatible with kasperskyhttp://www.zemana.com/product/antilogger/overview/#compatibilityKeyscramblerhttp://www.qfxsoftware.com/ks-windows/which-keyscrambler.htmDon’t Fall Victim to Keyloggers: Use These Important Anti-Keylogger Toolshttp://www.makeuseof.com/tag/dont-fall-victim-to-keyloggers-use-these-important-anti-keylogger-tools/Kaspersky Lab offers world-class anti-malware solutions that protect against Trojan viruses, worms, computer viruses and other threats – and also deliver anti-phishing and anti-spam protection – so you can benefit from more secure online banking, via the following computer platforms:https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/7251228/type/dlg/sid/UUmuoUeUpU73298/https://www.kaspersky.com/resource-center/threats/online-banking-thefthttps://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/7251228/type/dlg/sid/UUmuoUeUpU73298/https://usa.kaspersky.com/resource-center/preemptive-safety/internet-banking-security-keep-fraudsters-away If a user suspects the presence of a keylogger on a machine, she can employ a number of techniques to circumvent the malware, specifically by booting the PC from a CD or USB drive, or by using a virtual, on-screen keyboard, which prevents the malware from receiving any input from the keyboard.http://blog.kaspersky.com/keylogger/
