Just started having an issue today my pretty beefy Lenovo I've had for a year now (32GB RAM on an AMD Ryzen 7 6800 HS running Win 11 Pro): When I start typing in the start menu search, it's "loading" looking for the term I'm typing in:

1743033917188.webp

Here's a video of it: 3NkDMAT6Md.gif

Some search terms are taking up to 5 seconds before the results show up.

So, it looks like I resolved the problem.... but not to my satisfaction.

I uninstalled the latest Windows Feature and Quality updates.

Now, the problem is that though Cloud Content Search is active:

1743186842164.webp

When I search, I get no cloud results back:

1743186856270.webp

I believe there used to be a copilot icon in that circle before.

I'm on this version of Windows now

When Is started this thread, I was on Win 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.3476). Now I'm on 26100.1:

1743186794324.webp

any ideas on how to get the cloud search functionality back?

Look at these reg entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]

;; Windows IntegratedWebSearch DISABLED
