1Do you have a question? We are not a blog site.– harrymcMay 4, 2021 at 19:47

1This is not how SU works. You ask a question and someone answers it. In rare cases, you post your own answer (AS AN ANSWER) after a period of time. This is not how to get points for yourself.– Señor CMasMasMay 4, 2021 at 20:47

2I’m voting to close this question because this question also contains the answer to the question. It should be closed, modified to NOT include the solution, and only then allowed to be answered. The solution also is difficult to understand, so the “solution”, should be clarified.– RamhoundMay 4, 2021 at 23:12

@jpub - Why have you submitted a solution as a comment. You need 10 reputation to answer a protected question. The other question was protected due to extremely low quality answers that were deleted. All we ask is you answer questions bu submitting an answer instead of asking a question and answering another question within the body of that question.– RamhoundMay 5, 2021 at 22:42

@Ramhound I spent time writing up the solution, and then clarifying it. Then editing the "question" and so forth to jump through the hoops of procedure. Now some process happy lotion in the basket mod has deleted all traces of the solution (even in the comments -- not trying to get "points" or whatever), without allowing or taking the time to post the solution here or on the other thread? that's pretty silly.– jpubMay 6, 2021 at 20:48

The solution is...
For each "unclickable" search result, go to its original file location and 'pin to start' again.
I found that in my case, there were some orphaned Start Menu items in the search results left over from Folder Redirection of "Start Menu" to a network share, and then disabling Folder Redirection. None of the previous suggestions resolved the issue. The only thing that worked was this, which I assume updates the path/location entry for the filename that search has stored.
