    Can't search in the search box or taskbar in Windows 10, nor start menu and action bar is...


    I created a new local admin account on my computer. On this account I cannot use the search bar or use keys to search the start menu for programs etc. Also, clicking on the actions icon on the right hand side does not open the actions menu. I tried quite a lot of stuff.

    Reindexing, restarting search and explorer, recreate the profile etc. and nothing worked.

    Why can I not select and copy text from the winver windows?


    Version 1909 Build 18363.900.
