    Search bar not responding to typed input after 6/12/18 Windows Update


    I did the 06/12/18 Windows Update (Windows 10 Home 64 bit), and now the search bar doesn't respond to any typed input. I type in the first few letters, and the search/Cortana window just closes on me and the Search bar is blank. Cannot open apps or do any searching via the bar.

    Any suggestions, please?

    Can't Type inside the Search Bar (i can only type 1 letter and it will freeze and close the search bar)

    Hello guys and search for a solution for this problem and its was the simple of things.

    I don´t know why it works but try it and tell if it works for you guys too.

    • Press Win + R (to open Run )
    • copy paste and press enter to run this program. "C:\Windows\system32\ctfmon.exe". it brings back the language bar and for me it allowed me to type in windows search, start menu and WINDOWS 10 apps again
    I think it is due to missing Language bar or some think like that.

    Best regards.
