Windows search function not working after upgrade

[dukeit]

Hi Team,Looking to see if anyone here has come across this issue.Our team performed some in-place upgrades from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2019 Standard, which went well, and did not cause any issues with the installed applications on the server, but we found that the windows search function on the start menu did not work.After some investigation, we found that the searchui.exe was in suspended status, if we kill that process, the windows search works again. If the user logs off and logs on, the same issue occurs.We tried deleting the user profile but this did not work.Anyone else come across this issue?Thanks,Duke

Have you done Windows Updates since you upgraded?

 

I have some (very) small memory of a similar (ish) issue at some point and I don't recall it being anything fancy to fix.

Yes, did the Windows updates but that didn't fix it.
