Windows Features Searching For Required Files



Now the system is stuck in Searching for required files for nearly half an hour! I already killed and restarted the process twice, the outcome was every time the same. It is confusing because on another, "real" Windows 10 (second PC) this worked like a charm.


So, I have been in the process of Windows 10 hardening and when I go to turn off unnecessary Windows 10 features such as Internet Explorer 11, Legacy components, Windows Media player, Microsoft print to PDF, etc. it keeps freezing up on searching for required files and if I let it go, it fails to make the changes every time.




Windows Features Searching For Required Files



The .NET Framework 3.5 might be not completed through the Windows Update as the source. So the installation processes get stuck while downloading required files or alter error 0x800f0906/0x800f0907. If you also face the same issue, try any of the methods to fix the issue in Windows 10.


In this post, we will learn about the different steps to install .Net Framework 3.5 in windows 10. It is required in some functional requirement to run an app also for images that will support more than one language, you must add .NET Framework 3.5 binaries before adding any language packs. Dot NET Framework 3.5 is not included by default in Windows 10.


Use /All to enable all parent features of the specified feature.Use /LimitAccess to prevent DISM from contacting Windows Update/WSUS.Use /Source to specify the location of the files that are needed to restore the feature.


Copernic Desktop Search is a commercial desktop search solution, intended for people who need to search through their files on their local system. It also supports searching network mapped drive letters so you can use it for SMB server searches too. It appears to be designed to the non-technical audience, and lacks any advanced search capabilities.


Everything is great for searching files by name, but less-than-ideal for discovering sensitive data by content. It's really easy to build a search that looks like it is valid and returns no or few matches, but is really an unreported error in your search syntax. Keep a local repo of target files to validate your searches against if you plan to use this tool in an engagement against unknown target data.

In the previous lesson, we talked about how folders can help to keep your files organized. However, there may be times when you have trouble finding a certain file. If this happens to you, don't panic! The file is probably still on your computer, and there are a few simple ways to find it. In this lesson, we'll show you different techniques you can use to find your files, including searching and looking in common places.


All developers search within their code, in one way or another. Some might use code search to explore their code and understand how some components work; others might use code search to get to a very specific location they have in mind. Either way, as a developer yourself, sometimes this process of searching and finding a location might be frustrating and take you longer than you might want. Visual Studio 17.2 Preview 3 introduces a brand-new All-In-One search experience that merges the existing VS Search (Ctrl + Q) and Go To (Ctrl + T) to allow you to search both your code and Visual Studio features quicker and easier than ever, all in the same place. The All-In-One search streamlines your searching experience by providing you with a customizable UI (size, location, and dismissibility), compact search results with real-time matching as you type, and a fully keyboard friendly interface to ideally minimize your searching pain points. To try it out, download Visual Studio 17.2 Preview 3 today!


As we briefly explained above, the All-In-One code searching experience provides you with a symbol searching experience. In addition to symbols across your solution, you can also search for files. The three code results include:


Personally I consider having to resort to searching for features as a failure of the UI design and the constant use of modal dialogs, that you often cannot copy text to the clipboard from, as poor/lazy coding.


Windows Search is the successor of the Indexing Service, a remnant of the Object File System feature of the Cairo project which never materialized. Microsoft began development of Windows Search after the postponement of WinFS; it introduces features originally touted as benefits of that platform, such as content indexing, incremental searching, and property stacking.


The time required for the initial creation of this index depends on the amount and type of data to be indexed, and can take up to several hours, but this is a one-time event.[1] Once a file's contents have been added to this index, Windows Search is able to use the index to search results more rapidly than it would take to search through all the files on the computer. Searches are performed not only on file names, but also on the contents of the file (provided a proper handler for the file type is installed such as a PDF reader) as well as the keywords, comments and all other forms of metadata that Windows Search recognizes. For instance, searching the computer for "The Beatles" returns a list of music files on the computer which have "The Beatles" in their song titles, artists or album names, as well as any e-mails and documents that include the phrase "The Beatles" in their titles or contents.


Windows Search features incremental search (also known as "search as you type"). It begins searching as soon as characters are entered in the search box, and keeps on refining and filtering the search results as more characters are typed in. This results in finding the required files even before the full search text is entered.


The Windows Search service provides the Notifications API component to allow applications to "push" changed items that need indexing to the Windows Search indexer.[7] Applications use the component to supply the URIs of the items that need to be indexed, and the URIs are written to the Gather Queue, where they are read off by the indexer. Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft OneNote use this ability to index the items managed by them and use Windows Search queries to provide the in-application searching features. The internal USN Journal Notifier component of Windows Search also uses the Notifications API, monitoring the Change Journal in an NTFS volume to keep track of files that have changed on the volume.[18] If the file is in a location indexed by Windows Search and does not have the FANCI (File Attribute Not Content Indexed) attribute set,[7] the Windows Search service is notified of its path via the Notification API.


The search functionality is exposed using the search bars in the Start menu and the upper right hand corner of Windows Explorer windows, as well as Open/Save dialog boxes. When searching from the Start menu, the results are shown in the Start menu itself, overlapping the recently used programs. From the Start menu, it is also possible to launch an application by searching for its executable image name or display name. Searching from the search bars in Explorer windows replaces the content of the current folder with the search results. The Explorer windows can also render thumbnails in the search results if a Thumbnail Handler is registered for a particular file type. It can also render enhanced previews of items in a Preview Pane without launching the default application, if the application has registered a Preview Handler. This can provide functionality such as file type-specific navigation (such a browsing a presentation using next/previous controls, or seeking inside a media file).[29] Preview handlers can also allow certain kind of selections (such as highlighting a text snippet) to be performed from the preview pane itself. In the Control Panel, the search bar in the window can also search for Control Panel options. However, unlike WDS, Windows Search does not support creating aliases.


The first beta of Windows Search 4.0 was released on March 27, 2008.[37] It included numerous performance improvements to the indexer and brought new features, including previously Vista-exclusive ones, to XP, including Group Policy integration, federation of searches to remote indexes, support for EFS-encrypted files and Vista-style preview handlers that allow document-type specific browsing of documents in the preview pane.[38][39]


Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information, and more.Dependency Walker is also very useful for troubleshooting system errors related to loading and executing modules. Dependency Walker detects many common application problems such as missing modules, invalid modules, import/export mismatches, circular dependency errors, mismatched machine types of modules, and module initialization failures.Dependency Walker runs on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, and 8. It can process any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module, including ones designed for Windows CE. It can be run as graphical application or as a console application. Dependency Walker handles all types of module dependencies, including implicit, explicit (dynamic / runtime), forwarded, delay-loaded, and injected. A detailed help is included. 2ff7e9595c
