While not everyone is affected by these bugs, users began noticing the problem as early as January of this year. Unfortunately, Microsoft has not been able to find a definitive fix for the issue during this time. On its ‘Health’ webpage addressing the problem, Microsoft advises that Windows search and UWP apps may not work as expected and provides a workaround: uninstalling apps that integrate with Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook, or Outlook Calendar.
The lack of a clear solution and the suggested workaround are disappointing. Microsoft’s admission implies that it is equally puzzled by the problem, leaving users with no other option than to uninstall certain apps. However, the company does not specify which apps are causing the issue, making it even more frustrating for affected users.
