Window 10 open search shortcut not working

Hello Rafael,

In Windows 10, we can show and hide search bar by default. Regarding your concern, since the shortcut key to open Search bar is not working, we can have the Search bar visible by performing the following steps.

• Right click on the Taskbar.
• Select Cortana.
• Mark "Show search box".

If you still encounter the same concern, we advise to check if your Windows 10 is updated to make sure that it was not causing the issue.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
