Search missing from start menu after BSOD?

I've been using W10 for a few months now and it's been very stable, however for the first time this morning I've experienced a problem. When I tried waking the computer up from sleep, it BSOD'd and at the bottom said to search for "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE"
for more information.
After restarting the computer, I ran windows update (windows defender updated), and since then have restarted a few more times, but the search bar is simply missing from the start menu. It's just gone.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
”After restarting the computer, I ran windows update (windows defender updated), and since then have
restarted a few more times, but the search bar is simply missing from the start menu. It's just gone.“
May I know the preview build version you're using now? I wonder whether you're performing a normal Windows Updates or a system upgrade at that time. If it is normal Windows Updates then check if it has created a restore point before installing the updates,
if it has, then you could restore the system to a previous state with system restore and check if it could help you.

  • Strange sharepoint icons missing from start menu

    I dont know what kind of permissions have been disturbed in the server and I can not see the sharepoint icons as usual in the start. The logs are also not being updated in the default C:\programfiles\--\logs\ location.
    However when domain admin logs in to the system he can see the icons as usual.
    which policy or permissions is missing??

    Hi,
     After long struggle got an idea to fix your problem, the below solution may help you to fix this.
    To fix the missing icon or non-displayed icons in the start menu, need to rebuild the icon cache.The icon cache file is a hidden file that is named as  IconCache.db. This file you can find in C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local or %UserProfile%\AppData\Local.
    To rebuild the icon canche, you will need to either delete or rename the existing file so that Windows will build a new one after failing to locate it at its normal location.

  • New Bitmap missing from context menu after installing photoshop

    After installing photoshop CS6 from CD onto Windows 7x64; my context menu > New > bitmap is no longer available.  registry settings are intact and I've used Bridge ro reassociate .bmp with mspaint but the option still does not appear.  The installation of photoshop is the only change to the computer in several months.
    I can workaround by creating new txt files and changing the extension but this adds a step to a (non photoshop related) workflow that's been in place and worked well for years.

    I don't know why Photoshop would kill the system default entry for new bitmap - possibly because it has associated itself with that file type.
    First thing to look at - start Adobe Bridge CS6, go into the Edit - Preferences - File Type Associations dialog, and see if you can re-associate MSPAINT.EXE with the BMP format.  That may correct the issue, but I can't say for certain as I don't want to try it here and change my own setup.
    I don't use the New context menu functionality for making new bitmaps myself, but when I looked to see what shows up in my New context menu, I found this:
    Choosing the IrfanView BMP File entry led to this:
    If you can't recover the old functionality via the Bridge settings, it may be that you can install the freeware viewer IrfanView and have it associate itself with the BMP file type.

    Mine did it yesterday.
    My internet connection has been playing up for 2-3 days, with loss of connection even though router still indicates it's connected.. AppleTV is still on network but can't see the internet for movies when this happens.
    Also check you have correct country set as some won't allow movie rentals.

  • Why is "add to rig" missing from drop menu?

    I am missing the "Add To Rig" option on the drop down menu when trying to add parameters. Interesting thing is that the parameter I'm trying to add already has the rig icon showing yet isn't showing when I publish. Am I missing a simple preference or option?

  • How to repair Lion's Recovery HD partition? (Missing from boot menu but still there in Disk Utility)

    Running a 2011 Macbook Air with Bootcamp (Win7).
    The Recovery HD disappeared from boot menu after installing Windows 7.
    The 650mb partition is still there (from Disk Utility "Show All Partitions") but cannot be accessed...
    What should I do if I want to enable Filevault 2? It needs the Recovery HD partition right?
    Help!

    The problem is Boot Camp:  It uses a hybrid GPT/MBR partitioning scheme - which ends up hiding the Recovery HD partition - which is an EFI physical partition (neither GPT nor MBR).
    I would expect a new version of Boot Camp to release - like real soon - because of the Recovery HD partition invisibility issue.
    In this article - it is suggested that rEFIt should be used to partition a hard drive that is going to support multiple boots including Mac OS X, LINUX, and Windows. 
    (http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp)
    The key in the article to using Boot Camp with rEFIt is this:
    "Run the Boot Camp Assistant and create the Windows XP driver cd. Then exit Boot Camp.  DO NOT PARTITION USING BOOT CAMP: you are only using Boot Camp for the drivers, not the partitioning."
    All partitioning is done in terminal mode using the "diskutil" command.
    rEFIt is used to update both the GPT and MBR records so that all partitions will be visible using its "gptsync" command.
    Then - you replace the standard Mac boot menu with the rEFIt boot menu.  THAT will show the Mac OS X partition, Recovery HD (an EFI partition), and the Windows partition.
    My caveat is that rEFIt - which is open sourced and available here:  http://refit.sourceforge.net
    has not been recently updated and tested with respect to Mac OS X Lion.
    Hope this helps!

  • Mail option is missing from share menu

    "Mail" is missing from the share menu. When I go to the Extensions preferences in the System Preferences it is checked buy also grayed out. On Apple.Com it clearly shows in the example that Mail is present in the Share dropdown menu. I verified that my Mail account is correct. I have also tried Apple's instructions on this page: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite - Apple Support. Still nothing works. The Apple Help file even says this:
    Share Menu
    Select the items that you want in the Share menu, and in the Social widget in Today view in Notification Center.
    The Share menu is available in several apps, including Safari, Contacts, and the Finder. If an item is selected, but you don’t see it in an app’s Share menu, then you can’t use that item to share in that particular app.
    Only items that allow posting or messaging can appear in the Social widget.
    So, it would seem from this that Mail is not available in Photos? I find that hard to believe. I would be nice to still be able to email a photo directly from the new Photos App. Any other help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Stan

    Having the same issue!  Just updated to 10.10.3 and still no mail option in the share menu for Photos app!  Share via email works fine in Safari but it is not available in Photos app.  Hopefully someone will advise or respond asap otherwise, will wind up following the steps to reverting back to iPhoto!!

  • Some sample Applescripts are missing from Script menu.

    I am a new to AppleScript and I have just started reading A Beginner's Guide to Apple Script (by Guy Hart-Davis). The book makes numerous references to the default example scripts that are created during OS X install. I have added the script menu to to the menu bar and when I open the script menu - I only see about half of the default scripts that are shown in the book. I did some browsing and found other examples of the script menu which shows fewer scripts than the example in the book - but still shows a few more than what I am seeing on my system. On my system I do not see the following scripts (Address Book Scripts, Basics, Finder Scripts, Info Scripts, Internet Services, Navigation Scripts, URL's or Virtual PC Scripts). I am on SL 10.6.2. The book is written for SL 10.6 - but also makes references to Leopard 10.5. Is there something wrong with my system or were some of these default scripts eliminated in 10.6.2. My iMac came with 10.6.1 initially - so I have no prior OS version as a point of reference. My concern is that I progress with the lessons and exercises in the book - that there will be continued references to these missing scripts - as I suspect that the missing scripts may be used as a starting point for creating new scripts. Any idea where I can find the scripts that I listed as missing?

    Thanks. The book I am using appears to be a brand new book just released a month ago (or so). It appears the book may have been written for Leopard and tweaked for Snow Leopard (but under the guise of being the other way around) - without actually verifying that the examples for Snow Leopard actually work. The website for the book (McGraw Hill) does not seem to provide a mechanism for providing feedback or errata info. So far these missing scripts have not hampered my progress - except on the initial example. I was more concerned that something was missing from my iMac.

  • Run java program from start menu

    Does anyone know how to write a class so that when a user is running my program for the first time they can run an installation file that will put a shortcut to my bat file in the start menu.Know of any place i can get info on setting up an installation class or something similar.
    If you could give me some info would greatly appreciate it,it's my first time doing anything this big and not really sure where to start with writing an installation file

    If your program is just for windows then giving the user an exe instead of a .bat file will help.
    http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/marner_java_launcher.htm
    Your user will either need to have a JVM installed on their machine or you will need to provide one with the application. If you intend to provide one, the licence doesn't allow you to install it on to the target machine, but you can place the java dir in your directory structure and access the java/javaw command by a relative path (see the help on the above site for that)
    Once you have a directory structure set up for your application, you can use any comercial intall program to give give you a setup.exe file or whatever. if you are providing the VM with your distribution, then the file will at least 14MB plus your class and resource files. If you read the licence agreement for distributing the VM, it tell you what files can and can't be removed from it to make the file a bit smaller. For instance, you can remove webstart because you won't be using that.
    search http://www.download.com/ for installers. I think there are a few ad supported ones if you don't want to pay

    Hi @bepebe ,
    I see that you are having issues with the HP Printer Assistant not opening, after installing the printer software. I would like to help you out today.
    Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software to make sure it isn't interfering with the HP Printer Assistant loading.
    Try opening it again.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if the issue persists. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
    Did you have any errors during the install itself?
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.
