Windows 10: Can't type into Windows menu search bar

Clicking in the search bar does not register with the cursor symbol, and typing "P" for example does not insert P but selects Powerpoint.

not able to type in the search bar

Hi Rene,

If you meant the Cortana search bar, review the suggested solutions on these threads:

• Can't type in Windows 10 search bar.
• Can't type anything in Win 10 Apps (Cortana, Search, Calculator, Feedback, etc.)
  

Let us know how it goes.

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.
