    Can't type in Search or Explorer & My Sound has stopped working since updating to 1909


    1909 Repeatedly tried and failed.

    I used the Windows Update Assistant to force it through.

    When it finished I had no sound.

    Rolled back but still no sound and I still can't type in the search bar.

    All of the search results I've found make no difference even when they refer to Windows 10


    Currently running OS Build18363.11639

    :)

    File Explorer search not working in Windows 10 1909

    As suggested earlier, when Windows 10 search in explorer 1909 does not work (i.e. nothing can be typed into the search box), restart Windows Explorer in the task manager.

    Windows 10 updates - usually I wait a week or so before updating so that bugs can be fixed. Obviously this did't work in whichever update that trashed Wiindows Explorer.

    1909 Update file explorer search issue.

    New 1909 update broke the file explorer search. Now after file explorer window has been open 10+ minutes the search option is grayed out. Text does not show in the bar and the only way to be able to type again is to task kill file explorer from taskmgr.
    I have tried to run the search and index troubleshooter but it says everything is working as intended. I have restarted the windows search service, and I have reset the windows search but this issue happens every day. Any suggestions?
