When searching for terms such as 'update' or 'display' I do not get setting results.

    Thank you for reporting. I can confirm the issue.

    Apparently the XML with all settings changed name since 24H2.
    Previously there was this file:
    %windir%\ImmersiveControlPanel\Settings\AllSystemSettings_{253E530E-387D-4BC2-959D-E6F86122E5F2}.xml
    Now it seem there are two (similar) files:
    %windir%\ImmersiveControlPanel\Settings\AllSystemSettings_{D6E2A6C6-627C-44F2-8A5C-4959AC0C2B2D}.xml
    %windir%\ImmersiveControlPanel\Settings\AllSystemSettings_{FDB289F3-FCFC-4702-8015-18926E996EC1}.xml

    We should try to parse new file (if exists) and fall-back to old one.
