  1. Search Box next to start: I Can No Longer Type Into It


    I tried to utilize a 16 June Restore Point a few days ago because of a printer issue. Restore could not complete.Since then, the Search next to the Start button has been unable to accept typing - in other words, it cannot be used. This in turn has prevented me from returning to Restore to undo my attempted Restore. I have tried a different keyboard, but this can't type into Search either.I don't use Search for the Internet Help appreciated.

    :)

    Hi Brendon,

    Is you keyboard working normally on other apps such as Notepad? If not, run the built in troubleshooter for your keyboard. Here are the steps:

    • Type Troubleshoot in the Search box and press
      Enter.
    • Look for and run the Keyboard troubleshooter.
    • Follow the onscreen instructions.
    In the mean time, we suggest that you refer to the link below for actions that you can perform to troubleshoot issues with the Start menu or Cortana:

  3. Cortana search box - type request

    Since I got a Win 10 update a few days ago, Cortana has been hard to deal with :>). She will take requests verbally but if it try to type something into her search box, as soon as I enter a letter, a white box appears as though some suggestions will be
    listed (as it did before the update) and then all of a sudden it disappears and I am back to the original Cortana window. Any ideas? I did set up other admin user and Cortana will allow that user to type into the box and she will immediately start a list
    of suggestions. Also I tried "method 1 and 2 that required changes to the registry.
