[Launcher, Tracker] doesn't find some apps (file explorer, windows terminal,...) #3223
Comments
actually I didn't find Windows Terminal too. |
terminal it 100% should. did you install terminal maybe after PT was running? trying to figure out flow |
Doesn't find Docker for me. The only available results are .lnk files on the desktop and in start menu as well as |
Can you give a screenshot? |
@crutkas I don't think so. I update terminal from windows store 1st then install PT msi. Otherwise I already restart my windows too, and it still can't find terminal (and ofc windows explorer too). |
I found it doesn't find Chrome when I type "chrome" . If I type "google c" then Chrome comes up. Other applications seem to pick up if the typed word is anywhere inside the application name (e.g. Edge is listed as "Microsoft Edge" but comes up when I type "edg" |
Also it cannot find Docker app |
Doesn't find Code Wox result: |
I am experiencing a similar issue. The Launcher is not finding Slack, Discord, Webex Teams. I have manually kicked off a reindex and restart the machine without luck. |
so there are a hybrid of issues inside this bug here.
|
Same problem! |
On my machine don't show firefox and whole apps installed using scoop. In menu start everything is ok. |
My PowertoysRun does find Terminal. |
|
Sorry for the confusion, I just got used to using imgur everywhere rather than relying on every sites own image upload. Also regarding that other user with Chrome being in the 3rd place, for me it is in 1st place with "Google Chrome.lnk" being 3rd |
Mine does find VSCode when searching for "Code", it also does find Discord, Teams etc. It does not find explorer (returns IE) but does other system stuff like MSPaint. Some weird indexing going on there |
There are a hybrid of bugs here. Explorer is a known issue (and logged) from my crappy deduping code. Smarter people on the team is working on.
|
the G drive is a partition, the different thing is that i don't create shortcut on start menu, but i add the path in environment variables |
This issue has become a grab bag of bugs sadly. We have a fix for the first issue here at the top, #3969 and created dedicated bugs for others in it. We believe every bug listed here is documented. |
fixed in 0.18.2 official release. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/ |
Docker Desktop isn't showing up on 0.18.2, only the .lnk. |
Please file a new issue for tracking |
I have the same issue and am on the latest version. Most of my programs do not appear in the Run launcher but appear in Start menu just fine |
