    Help! Search box broken!


    I have been using Windows 11 since it released and I have only recently started to have this problem Starting October 13th, 2022I have tried to open my windows start menu and interact with it, only for it to close with no Error Message. I have also attempted to use the search bar only for it to close the start menu and repeatedly open the search feature with the following screen. This happens repeatedly and is very disruptive and makes it impossible to type out or interact with anything on my PC.I have already attempted to troubleshoot and have already attempted to use the GetAppXProgram adm

    :)
