Hi, is there a version released which allows you to search for a TV program?
I have Version 8.8.4 on my Win 10 system.
Looking for some help on this topic please..
Can't search for TV Programs

You have to enable search on Win10. Do a search for "Indexing Options" and click the [Advanced] button to [Rebuild] the index. You can watch the progress, but 'Windows Media Center' is part of that index.

Hi Gary, I kept on searching on here and found your reply to someone else's.. I had to do the indexing thing 2 to 3 times before it worked.. so how often will this reindexing have to be done?

I want to make sure we are talking the same thing, here. Your indexing is enabled now, correct? I don't know why you would have had to do the delete and rebuild multiple times, but if it is working now, you shouldn't have to do it again.

There was a problem with Windows indexer caused by an Windows update not that long ago. Basically it screwed up search and you had to keep reindexing.
It was pretty widespread and pretty obvious that there was an issue because the indexing service kept restarting and the system was noticeably slower. Not so obvious on a really fast PC but noticeable nevertheless.
They fixed it in another update so if you are up to date it should be fine now.

Hey technodevotee, thanks for your info, I believe the current version of my win 10 is 1909..
Using a SSD on this system and only a new upgrade, so didn't notice any slowness

Yeah, it affected 1903 and 1909 (search stopped working on all of mine for a week or so) but I just found out that it was actually back in February and there have been loads of Windows Updates since then so as long as you are up to date, it probably isn't connected to that.
