    I found that the search didn't include the Local Disk C:/ drive, even though it has ALL the files that we are searching for! Here is the easy fix:

    1. Type: windows button + R
    2. Then, type "control panel"
    3. In the top right search box, type "indexing options" and open it.
    4. click the "modify" button
    5. Make sure that Local Disk C:/ is included in the things that the search bar searches.
    6. Then, it will start to scan everything in the Local Disk C:/, which takes some time. ****

    Good news! Check for Windows Update! You should find Windows 11, version 23H2 (repaired version). Installing that will fix the search problem.
