Windows 10: My task bar "type here to search" isn't working. Whenever I try to type anything in there,...

My taskbar isn't working. Whenever I open it up, it's just a black rectangle with 5 blue dots at the top, and then closes. What do I do to fix it?

not able to type in the search bar

Hi Rene,

If you meant the Cortana search bar, review the suggested solutions on these threads:

• Can't type in Windows 10 search bar.
• Can't type anything in Win 10 Apps (Cortana, Search, Calculator, Feedback, etc.)
  

Let us know how it goes.

 

Unable to Type in Search the Web and Windows Bar


Your suggestion unfortunately did not resolve the problem. I still cannot type anything in the "Search the web and Windows" box in the task bar. Additionally Cortana still will not run. When I hit the Windows Key and the S key, I can see Cortana start up from within the Task Manager but it immediately closes (exits).
