Windows 10: NOT ABLE TO TYPE IN SEARCH BAR!

I've been trying to fix this issue for quite some time now. I've tried a bajillion videos and even official solutions FROM the Microsoft Forums, but my search bar still won't take any inputs from my keyboard. If you're thinking, Yes, my keyboard works everywhere else, just not there.

Kindly, help!
