It seems, that {1AA9BF05-9A97-48c1-BA28-D9DCE795E93C} and {6C337B26-3E38-4F98-813B-FBA18BAB64F5} already used in Windows 10 by PDF Persistent Handler and Reader Search Handler (%systemroot%\system32\Windows.Data.Pdf.dll) so the IFilterSample sample fails to register/unregister correctly.

Hi, Were you able to get it working? its not working for me.

@nekumar-nv Hello. Yes, I updated two GUIDs in

#define SZ_FILTERSAMPLE_CLSID L"{6C337B26-3E38-4F98-813B-FBA18BAB64F5}"
#define SZ_FILTERSAMPLE_HANDLER L"{1AA9BF05-9A97-48c1-BA28-D9DCE795E93C}"
with newly generated and then followed instructions here: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/blob/main/Samples/Win7Samples/winui/WindowsSearch/IFilterSample/README.md#to-build-and-use-this-sample.

Thanks dmitryshunkov for confirming. I tried changing these GUIDs but still no luck.
