Windows search bar is not responsive and I can't access Microsoft store or other apps related to Microsoft store

Hi there

Windows search bar is not responsive and I can't access Microsoft store or other apps related to the Microsoft store

I have tried all the usual suggestions like updating Windows, checking the date, time and regional settings and even tried to reinstall the Microsoft store which won't allow me to do so as apparently my windows firewall is not running (which it is).

All of the usual suggestions for resetting the Microsoft Store and the Windows search bar have also been tried and nothing seems to be working.

I'm looking for some advanced help on the issue, please.

Thanks

Kenneth

 

Search Bar/Cortana

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

From the description, I understand that you are still receiving the pop up notifications, despite having disabled the search functionality in windows 10.

Steps to disable the Search Bar

• Right click on the task bar.
• Select the "Search" option.
• Select "Disable."

However, if the above steps don't work out, perform the below suggested steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Open a CMD window started as Administrator.

Repair corruption: Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth.

Run this command next: Sfc /scannow

Now run these two commands:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Hope the above information was helpful.

Thank You.
