You could also not perform a search. I saw in the System event log: "The server Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost _10.0.17763.1_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy!

I noticed the same thing with Cortana. and "The server Microsoft.Windows.Cortana _1.11.6.17763_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI.AppXfbn8w4s0jbk3tjevpcn9kaxerc6rby8k.mca did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." I captured a procmon trace and found: Both ShellExperienceHost.exe and SearchUI.exe exit with an error (-1073741790 which is Access Denied) as soon as they try to load sysfer.dll (part of Symantec Endpoint Protection).

Step 2: Install the Default KMS Key Install the default KMS key by running the following command: cscript.exe C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key] You can find the default KMS client setup keys here. Step 3: Delete the Record from DNS Open the DNS console and expand the _tcp node under the domain.com. You'll see a record called _VLMCS. Delete this record. Now, the KMS server is uninstalled.
