Windows 10: I've been encountering this graphical glitch in the search menu lately. Does anyone have this?

Here you can watch a video of the problem:https://www.reddit.com/r/AcerNitro/comments/193fzkv/ive_been_encountering_this_graphical_glitch_in/I really don't know what this is and how it can be fixed.

Search bar graphic glitch half grey

Video drivers are ok, it's not a video glitch but a software issue in the search component of some kind, apparently... From a comparison with fresh install in VBox (left) I've found some differences in the registry keys for SearchUI (C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchApp.exe):

(differences at the bottom are just for the Jumplist history so we can ignore them...) P.S. I just added also the value "BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000, let's see if this is enough to stop this random glitch - - - Updated - - - Changed 2 things:

• added the value "BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000 to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search
• changed NVidia settings for SearchUI profile to use application settings for anisotropic filter ignoring driver's customization for SearchApp.exe:

2 days and is still ok - - - Updated - - - It just happened again *Sad

I have this random issue opening Search clicking on the search gadget (see pic) Have no idea what's causing it but I have had this problem form many months, never solved. When it happens, if I start typing it won't go away, but if I click into the panel area it will disappear showing the menu as usual.

Graphical(?) glitch happening, windows 10

Hello Shado,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I request you to try the following steps:



Uninstall and Reinstall the Graphics Card Drivers.

Step 1: Uninstall the Graphics Card
Drivers

• 
  Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
  
• 
  Search for the Graphics Card
  from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers
  from the computer.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
  

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.



Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:



Step 2: Go to the Computer or Graphics Card
manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the
Graphics Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.
