Windows 10 20H2 Update SearchApp.exe crashing

After the Windows 10 20H2 update, Windows Search kept crashing continously. This affected search box in taskbar as well as search other search boxes systemwide.

Eventlog details:

Pfad der fehlerhaften Anwendung: C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchApp.exe

Anwendungs-ID, die relativ zum fehlerhaften Paket ist: CortanaUI


How I fixed it:

I found the solution here:

  • Confirm your search is working at all: Create a new user and check if search works. If it does, go on (with your old user where search does not work).
  • Backup RegKey: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
  • Delete the whole Key (including all sub keys + values)
  • Access the search (e.g. press windows key and try enter something)
  • Nothing will happen. Try this a few times, when it starts working again the key has been recreated.
  • Either import the backup or just use the new settings (which you may want to adjust)

How to change the display nome of outlook.com account / ost-file in folder pane in Outlook 2013/2016

My outlook 2016 was showing my outlook.com account using my microsoft account e-mail address. I was looking for a way how to rename the "blabla@outlook.com" to "Outlook.com-Account", like i can be done with POP/IMAP accounts.
But the properties of the data file only showed me the path to the .ost-file, but no Textbox to enter a Display name.

How i fixed it:

I found the solution a Microsoft answers forum, posted by Verdhaham Shetti:

Here's his solution, which worked for me:

"Let's follow the steps to change the mail box name for EAS account.
  1. Go to File > Options > Advanced > Click on Send/Receive
  2. Press the Edit.
  3. Select your Outlook.com/Hotmail account on the left.
  4. Press the Account Properties.
  5. Type the display name for your account on the General tab.
  6. Press OK until all dialogs are closed and you are back in the main Outlook window. "

HP LaserJet P2015dn shows only manual duplex under Windows 7, but auto duplex unit is installed

I set up a Computer with Windows 7 and a HP LaserJet P2015dn connected to it. All Drivers were installed by Windows during Setup.
But when printing, the Options for Duplex in Printer Settings only showed "Manual Duplex", but my Printer has an Auto Duplex Unit installed.

How-i-fixed it:

In found the solution here:

1. Click on the Start button.

2. Click on Devices/Printers.

3. Once the windows screen has popped up....scroll down to your Printers/Faxes section.

4. Right click on the P2015 printer icon.

5. In the drop down menu, select "Printer Properties"

6. Once the Printer Properties dialog box has opened, click on the device settings tab.

7. Scroll down to the Duplex Unit line and make sure this is set to installed. If not, use the pull down tab and change to installed.  (see below pic.).
