Windows 10: Part of the win 10 start menu is missing when searching

So my Laptop is on the latest update but one thing i noticed whenever i type in the search bar, the left part of the start menu goes missing (where the sign in, settings and feedback buttons are when your searching for something) Instead it shows whatever is on the forefront of the desktop (either the desktop itself or a video etc) Any clue as to why this is happening?

Huh i thought my PC was at 1903 turns it its still on 1809, surprised microsoft hasn't prompted me to upgrade... Anyway yeah i have been confused because the laptop (bottom screenshot) different to PC (top screenshot) There anyway to get it kinda back to the 1809 look?





EDIT: Forgot to mention both search bars are hidden on both PC and laptop, kinda liked it just in start menu. I think its because they removed Cortana or something from the search bar right?

That is completely normal behaviour for 1903. As soon as you start typing the Start menu closes and is replaced by the Search window. If you have the search icon showing next to Start on the task bar you can open search directly and won't see the start menu at all.
