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
