    Cannot type in certain areas within Windows


    I can't run a Windows search, or do anything at all in the Windows store, including logging in to Microsoft. The keyboard doesn't register, and I can't even right click (though I can right click in Windows search).

    Troubleshoots I've tried...


    • running ctfmon


    • Both AppXManifest methods on Windows Help site


    • System File Checker


    • Windows Update


    • There was another one I did in Task Scheduler, but I don't remember the name of the file.


    I can get around everywhere else that I can think of. Browsers are fine, games, and programs are fine. It's just those two areas. Can anyone give me a clue... beyond the troubleshoots already mentioned?

    :)

  2. Unable to type in to box on 'Control Panel'.

    This issue might occur if some file types for indexing were disabled after the updates. We suggest that you try rebuilding your search index by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R, type control.exe srchadmin.dll, and click on
      OK.
    • Click on the Advanced button.
    • Click on the File Types tab. From here, you can choose to include certain file types from indexing by checking them in the list.

    Let us know how it goes.
