When I search any term in the Start Menu, I never get local results: enter image description here

That is, until I manually apply a filter to the search: enter image description here

Then for some reason, it works properly. Does anyone have a fix? Haven't found one in any similar Super User question/online forum.

Turn UAC back on. To verify if this is your problem, check the following logs in event viewer. Application

And

Applications and Services logs - Microsoft- Windows - Apps

If you see anything regarding Cortana or SearchUI that says "This application cannot be activated by the built-in Administrator" - It's because you've disabled either UAC or the Windows Firewall Service.

This will deny required permissions to Cortana - which happens to be a key component of Windows Search.
