Windows 10: Graphics issue with Action Center and Control Panel Search Bar

Hi Guys,

I need some expert guidance. My computer is acting weird. So I have two monitors hooked up to my ASUS GTX 2080 graphics card. I didn't have this issue before, but now it's bothering me. So now I am seeing some notifications such as the virus scanner, and sometimes windows app installations the notifications that come up on the bottom right of the screen are off-screen and big. As if it's trying to appear in both the second monitor and first. How Do I stop that, and how do I kind of rearrange it so it's not off-screen. The second issue is there is a graphical issue when I'm in the control panel and I press the search bar. It becomes big, I am posting a screenshot.

Also finally whenever I am typing nothing happens and then all of a sudden text appears quickly. Like the computer freezes for half a second and continues on. Like a frame lag almost, but it gets annoying.

I am using Windows 10 Pro 1909 OS build 18363.752

Thanks!

Windows 10 Search for Control Panel Results Not Clickable.

Hi Steve,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with using search bar on Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is change in search bar settings.



To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

• When you say that "any search result that is Control Panel related", are you referring to accessing the settings inside Control Panel through search bar?

I suggest you to turn off Cortana from the settings.

1. Open Cortana.

2. Then click on Notebook symbol.

3. Click on Settings.

4. Then turn off Cortana.

5. Then check if you are able to search Control Panel properly in the search bar.

6. After that again turn on Cortana.



I suggest you to send the screenshot of the issue in the next post for better understanding of the problem.
