    When clicking "Start ", I find that my "search" function
    is missing. Only item in the extreme bottom left is
    "All Programs" ..Any ideas on how to restore my search?
    TIA

    Did it work in the past. When did you notice it stopped. Did you try System Restore.

    Yes, I did try system restore (back 7 days). It was working
    several days ago. Also have run Virus and malware scans.
    Thanks,

    Try .....

    Control Panel > Programs & Features > Click on Turn Windows Features on or off (Left column) > Scroll down to Windows Search and make sure it is checked.
