Can't find .lnk shortcuts Windows 10
I have many .lnk shortcuts that I use on a daily basis, including multiple different users on Chrome and start locations for CMD. When I search their names on windows search (win+s), the shortcuts show up, but when I use any third party search applications (such as Cerebro, Wox, etc.), I can't find them. Why is this?
It's worth noting that I have only had this problem after switching to a new windows 10 laptop, on my old one .lnk files worked fine with Cerebro and Wox.
