Windows 10: A bug when minimizing a window after a search

After a search, when I minimize or restore the window, the search reappears. See more clearly in the recording.

Minimizing file explorer sends it back to search mode

With latest Windows 10 update (currently I'm having 2004), if you search in File Explorer and do "open folder/file location", and then minimize the explorer window, it will automatically roll back to original search status.

Steps to reproduce this bug:

1. Open File Explorer

2. Pick a drive/folder, say "D:\data"

3. On search box of File Explorer, type a search string, for instance "rose"

4. A list of folders/files that have the string "rose" will be listed, and now right click on a folder/file, and select "open folder/file location"

5. As expected, the search status (colored as blue in task bar) is gone, and the window becomes like a regular file explorer window (colored as yellow in task bar).

6. You can further click on side bar and choose a different folder to display

7. NOW the PROBLEM, if you minimize this window (or click on bottom right corner to minimize all open windows), you will see from task bar that it goes back to search mode, and display "rose". If you open it again, you will see it shows
search result for "rose" in current folder.

So, by picking "open file location", you already end the search and want to use file explorer in its usual way, but minimizing the window brings it back to search mode. I use search A LOT, and have seen this issue only recently. This is definitely a bug!
