    Windows search key-box is missing from task bar


    Ver. 1909 OS Build 18363.1533 I'm missing the box when hitting windows key and R it opens it. But if i forget to use that method, i'd rather the box be present on the task bar. I hit taskview in the context menu when looking over that strip or the context menu for the powershell that was also menu after last night's windows updates. (That's why i dread to update windows) Well, thanks if anyone might be able to give me the simple task to get it in view again.

    :)
