Server 2016 Start Menu Search Doesn't Work

[kahoots]

There are multiple threads/sites that reported this but all of them are pretty old. I would like to see if we have a solution for the search not working on all of our server 2016 standard version 1607. From the start menu, when i type in note, nothing shows up. I have to type in notepad for it to show up. Type in Acrobat, empty. Type in Vmware, empty.

Things I've tried already:

Start Windows Search Service

Enabled UAC

Logged in as an account with no admin rights, search got a little better but still didn't search for everything

Deleted Cortana folder in c:\users\username\appdata\local.... and recreated it running powershell, Add-AppxPackage -Register "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

Rebuilding search index

Remove and reinstalled window search

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks
