Hello,

I seem to be having this issue return every reboot.

When ever I type something (anything) into the store search, it instantly redirects to my start screen.

/sfc scannow fixes the issue but literally it returns that same day for whatever reason & I have tried the troubleshooter, re-registering the store app & done this sfc scan about 3 times now and just getting bored of it.. Having to use the browser version of the store just sucks..

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, I'm still looking myself.

Hello PNetwork:
In the Charms Bar search field, above the search dialog box, set search to 'Everywhere' from the drop down menu. Give that a try.
