Windows 10: Cannot type in Search Bar of Windows 10

Recently after I updated Windows 10 the search box on the taskbar was working.


I can't type anything in this box.

I tried all the tricks:

-Rebuilding Index

-Command prompt commands

- Powershell Commands

etc that I found. But I am unable to fix the issue. Please Help!

Search bar stuck while trying to type in the search bar

Hello DhananjayaSwain,

We would like to know more information regarding your concern so that we will know why the search bar is not working. Have you recently made any changes/updates prior to this issue?

Did you run the troubleshooter to rebuild the indexing? If not, I would suggest that you run the troubleshooter to fix common indexing issue. You can run the troubleshooter by performing these steps:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type
  Troubleshoot.
• Choose Troubleshoot in the results.
• Under Find and fix other problems highlight
  Search and Indexing then click Run the troubleshooter.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
