    Search Bar Not Working - Doesn't Even Load


    I am having a problem with my search bar. Although my computer is not working as good as it used to, the search bar was working up until a week ago. I tried several methods that were recommended on this website but none of them seem to work. The problem is that when I press the search bar it doesn't load when i try to click on it. Please Help.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Windows-10 update KB4058043: Search bar doesn't work after update

    After the most recent Store reliability update (KB4058043), I have the exact same problems as described in a year-old update issue:

    Windows 10 Anniversary update: Search bar doesn't work after update

    In addition to the start menu, entering search text in the "Windows Settings" dialog's search-box also freezes it.

    I've tried all solutions provided therein, but none has worked so far. So far I've tried solutions based on

    • DCIM tool
    • A PowerShell script
    • Tweaking.com's repair tool

    How do I fix it?

    Search Bar Not Working - Doesn't Even Load

    internet explorer doesn´t load any page

    I tryed all 3 methods but got no success.

    The funny thing is that IE is working fine on a new created test account (like method 3 suggests) but after this I switch back to my account and confirm IE is useless.

    In sum IE not working on my account which is the admin one, but it is working on other accounts I create.

    Doesn´t make sense to me...
