Windows 10: File explorer panel switch to last search on resize

Hi,


Since a few weeks something strange is happening with my 7 years old Windows 10 installation.

Windows is updated.


After I perform the first search in file explorer after boot, every time I resize the file explorer windows dragging the border or maximizing or remove maximizing Explorer windows go back to last search performed.


I have tried everything that I am aware of.


Found nothing on the internet about this weird behaviour.


It doesn't happen in Safe mode. it doesn't happen before first searching file explorer has been made.


I tried stopping every possible service and app, it still happens.


I can provide you everything: screenshots, video, even remote access, registry configuration, list of installed apps.... whatever you may need.


Thanks in advance,


Ettore


P.S. this is the first time since... forever... I haven't been able to figure a solution to a windows problem by myself or looking on the Internet.

P.S. 2 I performed sfc /scannow and dism - online ... everything is good

:)

 

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.
