Windows 10: Missing ctfmon.exe

Hi, I am running Windows 10 Home. I found that I could not type in the search bar. When I ran Win+R then C:Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe I found I could type in the search bar and microsoft edge. Every time I start the computer I have to repeat this process to use the search bar and microsoft edge. How can I get ctfmon.exe to start with my computer to avoid this procedure?


Thanks in advance.

ctfmon

Hello,

Ctfmon is the Microsoft process that controls Alternative User Input and the Office Language bar. It’s how you can control the computer via speech or a pen tablet, or using the onscreen keyboard inputs for asian languages. If you are using any of the mentioned
tasks, you should leave it enabled. Since you've already tried removing it at the task manager, we suggest that you follow the steps below to disable ctfmon.exe:

• Open Settings by clicking the Windows icon.
• At the Settings window, type in Administrative tools and select it.
• At the Administrative tools window, click Services.
• At the services window, look for Touch Keyboard and Handwriting panel service, set this to disabled and stop the service. This will disable the ability to use the onscreen keyboard.

Let us know the results.

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
