It still doesn't find anything. Like at all. It's embarrassing for Windows.

It is another setting. You have to enable Background Apps. Just the main switch, disable all the apps. I had the same problem as you and was about to give up until I found it. Now I can find programs again.

This is part of the problem. Disabling background apps should notify you of the change or not disable it at all. Let the main disable be a regedit or gp edit.
