Fix for Windows 10 Start menu search not working

This is the fix for Windows 10 start menu search not working, this is affecting almost all Windows 10 users.

The issue manifests itself as a blank start menu when searching:

• Run Regedit.exe
• Browse to HKEY CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
• Create a new 32-bit DWORD called ‘BingSearchEnabled’ and set to 0
• Do the same steps for ‘CortanaConsent’, also set to 0
• Open task manager and restart Windows Explorer (open explorer if you don’t see it at the top).
