Okay, so I just had a Windows update that supposedly installed a new build of Windows 10 on my laptop. The installation with the circular progressbar showed up after the restart. I've been having issues with the search functionality in Windows 10 since I installed it, so I figured I'd test it again. The Win+X power menu has a "Search" item -- I clicked on that, and it seemed that Windows was doing something for about 5 seconds or so before explorer.exe looked like it had crashed. I lost my desktop background when explorer restarted (it went black), and no search UI came up at all. When clicking on the search button in the taskbar, it will show up, then disappear before any of the UI even has time to paint/draw. I looked into EventViewer, and I seen many many logs similar to the one above where an exception had been thrown in Windows.UI.Xaml.dll.

Anybody else seeing this issue? Anyone have a solution?

Lower the screen resolution :)

I know it's a workaround but it may provide you some hint

I had similar issue after Windows 10 RTM upgrade. Most of the Store Apps crashes (solitaire, store, mail etc.) with the same error code and faulting module name. I tried a lot of suggested solutions but none of them helped me. I have old integrated graphic card: intel G31/33 with deafult, automatically installed by Microsoft driver. This driver is WDDM 1.0 compliant only. There is no newer driver on Intel website therefore I played with various available graphic settings and lowering the screen resolution from 1920x1080 to 1600x900 worked.

Hope it helps

There's not much point in trying to debug this anymore because I've updated Windows to a new build numerous times. The issue no longer persists with the current build of Windows 10, and I'm on the same resolution as I was before.

Good for you! However despite the newest build my problem (on this particular machine) still exists ;/

cheers

Really? :S Very strange... Are you on build 240 or the newest insider build? I wonder why it still persists for you... Thanks for the information regardless!
