Cortana Search is not finding applications on Windows 10

Found a solution here: [Cortana not finding Desktop apps when searching for them](http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_cortana/cortana-not-finding-desktop-apps-when-searching/f612e995-6664-4b91-b6ae-96790e763858)

Here is the relevant part:

I reinstalled ***Cortana*** using the following procedure:

- Open an elevated Command Prompt window (press win + X, and then press A)

- Type `start powershell` and press enter

- Run the command (in one line):


Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach
{Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register
"$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

After 30 seconds the problem was solved on my machine. Incredible.
