Windows 10: Emergency! My search box keeps popping up when I click on the start menu of windows key.

I have an Hp laptop, Version 2004. I messed around with the registry, then this happened. I had a registry backup, but it just did not work. So when i open my start menu, my search bar pops up. Please help. I really am tensed. And don't tell something very difficult please.

Search box keeps popping up when I open the Start menu.

Just like the title says, the search box keeps popping up on top of the Start menu when I click the Start button or tap the Windows key. This is most likely to happen when the Start menu has refreshed itself (like after Windows startup or after closing a
game). I've tried different keyboards and mice but they made no difference. And before anyone asks, I'm not using a touchpad.

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Leah
