Microsoft documentation says nothing about the out-of-band Windows update fixing Outlook. Update January 22, 03:40 EST: Removed mention of out-of-band Windows updates fixing the search issue. Those problems started showing up in June 2021 after the first Windows 11 preview builds surfaced, and they also impacted emails and other items stored locally in PST or OST files, such as POP and IMAP accounts.Īs mitigation, Microsoft also recommended switching to Outlook's built-in search engine, which would workaround the cause: Windows search being broken after the search index gets deleted during the Windows 11 upgrade. For instructions, see Outlook Search not showing recent emails after Windows update KB5008212," Microsoft said.Īs previously reported in December, Outlook users have also experienced search issues in Outlook for Microsoft 365, Outlook 2019, and Outlook 2016 after upgrading to Windows 11. "To mitigate the issue, you can disable Windows Desktop Search which will cause Outlook to use its built-in search.
While a fix for the Outlook search issue is already rolling out to all impacted Windows 10 devices, Microsoft says it's still "working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release" for affected Windows 11 systems.Īs a temporary workaround, Microsoft advises Windows 11 customers and those who haven't yet received the fix via KIR to mitigate the Outlook search bug by disabling Windows Desktop Search and switching to Outlook's built-in search engine.
Windows admins can also install and configure group policies to resolve the issue on enterprise-managed devices. Restarting your Windows device might help the resolution apply to your device faster," Microsoft said. "Please note that it might take up to 24 hours for the resolution to propagate automatically to consumer devices and non-managed business devices. Those receiving the fix via KIR might have to wait until the rollout reaches their systems until it propagates to all affected systems. Microsoft has fixed this issue on affected Windows 10 devices via the Known Issue Rollback (KIR) feature.
