Windows 10 Search can't find ANY applications. Even calculator

I have no idea why or what I have broken in the process.
But here is what worked for me.

-
Ctrl+Shift+Right-click on an empty part of the taskbar and clicking "Exit Explorer" (or kill it via Task Manager if that doesn't work).

-
Delete this registry key.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{ef87b4cb-f2ce-4785-8658-4ca6c63e38c6}\TopViews\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

- Start process `Explorer.exe` via Task Manager.
