"Windows button search" only looking for installed app

September 27, 2022 12:42:35 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

When i press the "Win" icon on Start11 I'm able to search for an installed App and for link to an app created on the desktop but this kind of search doesn't works for Executables that aren't installed .

Is this a feature or a bug?
Thanks an advance

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

  1. You on Windows 10 or 11? And its version number please (use Winver.exe)
  2. Start11 version?
  3. Start11 style use? Win 7, Modern, Win10 or Win11?
  4. Need to see your settings on Start11 Search tabs. Post screenshots of it. Something like screenshot below.

I have a tools named "netscan.exe" that is located in a folder with this path c:\utility and i have created a shortcut to desktop.

If i do a search Start11 find the original ZIP folder, the desktop link but not the executables located in the Utility's folder

and no, i haven't tried the 1.27 beta: where can i download it ?

Thanks for the support

Have you tried to rebuild your Windows 11 search index?

Hi, i don't think it's about a "bad" index because the folder "Utility" is not included in index's directory.
But now i have a question:
The Start11's search looking for a file in ALL drive or only in index's directory ?
Because the "Powertoys Run" can find my executables regardless of where they are.
Thanks again
