There's a workaround to let Windows Search see executables (.exe .vbs) again. It broke after a system update last week.

Turn off "web results" with the following registry tweak and reboot (or just restart Explorer if you know how). It makes local search much faster, too.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001
