Windows 10: Cannot remove translucent box from my screen despite trying every method shown here and...

Recently my Windows had an update. Shortly after appeared this translucent box on my screen that will not go away. I have tried restarting my display driver, uninstalling, reinstalling, cmd sfc/ scannow, restarting Windows explorer, searching for MiniSearchHost.exe but there is no such program in my processes. Are there any other solutions? I hear this is a known bug for Windows 11, but none of the solutions are working for me.

A translucent box on screen windows 11

Thanks to everyone that has replied and offered their expertise. I had read a previous post that mentioned turning off the search in the task bar settings, since I have implemented this solution the translucent box has not reappeared. Now if I want to search I just press the WINDOWS key + S. Hope this helps anyone else with their translucent box problem.
