I have Windows 10 installed and from what I can tell, everything is working fine. The issue I have is with my start menu.

If I press the windows key and start typing "Calcul" or even the full word "calculator", (or "Calc" as it is called as well), it does not find anything at all.

Same for "Notepad" or "Skype".

But other apps can be located, for example "Control" finds a best match and some apps as well as some settings.

If I type "Outlook" then Outlook 2013 is in the list, (as I have it installed). But if I type "Excel" then it does not find Excel 2013.

It looks like my indexing kind of works... or not all items have been indexed.

What could the issue be?

I have windows 10.0 (Build 10240), and I am up to date from what I can tell, (Update & Security) > Windows Update > Check for Updates = "Your device is up to date.".

This implies that you've only just installed Windows 10. The indexing can take several hours, so it may be the index has not finished yet. Unlikely, but possible.

More likely, you need to re-index it

The index requires almost no maintenance. However, if the index can't find a file that you know exists in an indexed location, you might need to rebuild the index. Rebuilding the index can take several hours, and searches might be incomplete until the index is fully rebuilt.

Open Indexing Options by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type indexing options, and then click Indexing Options.

Click Advanced. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In the Advanced Options dialog box, click the Index Settings tab, and then click Rebuild. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

That issue might accrue due to not properly installed window or may be a you are using pirated one. I will suggest you to reinstall W10 to get rid off this issue . I will suggest you to contact windows help center too
