Download the file WSeach.reg and save it on your desktop.
Save all your work and close all program's.
Double-click the file WSearch.reg and allow it to be added to your registry.

Restart the computer and check if Windows Search is working now.
 
Followed that last instruction but Windows search still not working unfortunately.
 
Since I ran your your reg file download WSearch is now available in services.msc but not running, with the description: <Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 15100 >

If I try to start the service I get the message: Windows could not start the WSearch service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Hi Peter, after thoroughly researching my issues with windows search, and additional problems running ANY troubleshooters I finally decided to do a repair install of my Windows 7 which has sorted all my issues.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping me, It's really appreciated.
 
Great. This thread will be marked as solved.

All the best.
