Hi,

(Kindly upvote this in case you don't have a solution: https://aka.ms/AAdgiaz)

In Windows 10, I always used to simply click the start button, type "This PC" and press Enter.

That used to quickly search for This PC and open it.

Recently I installed Windows 11 Beta, I tried doing the some thing, but on typing "This PC", the search result is not giving me "This PC".

The rest of the search works though, for instance, I search for recycle bin, that works:

Could anyone help here, is this the expected behavior or is it a bug?

Thanks in advance :)

    I know all that can be done!.

    It's just something which used to work, "I" found it helpful.

    So that's why I wanted to know.

    "Put This PC in the start menu," by right clicking This PC and use pin to Start.

    Hi Abhijeet_Jain,

    Put This PC in the start menu and then you can use This PC like in W10

    Yes, that is correct. But the technical name is file explorer.

    1. Press Win+E directly.
    2. Type File Explorer.
