    Windows 10 64bit, can't type in search bar / start menu, tried powershell fix but didn't help

    Hello guys and search for a solution for this problem and its was the simple of things.

    I don´t know why it works but try it and tell if it works for you guys too.

    • Press Win + R (to open Run )
    • copy paste and press enter to run this program. "C:\Windows\system32\ctfmon.exe". it brings back the language bar and for me it allowed me to type in windows search, start menu and WINDOWS 10 apps again
    I think it is due to missing Language bar or some think like that.

    Best regards.
