  1. Search Box not showing


    Hi,


    I am on W10 1903 build 18980.1.

    Since a while, should I click on the taskbar's search icon or WIN+S, nothing happens (or sometimes I get a big black square).


    This is kind of a pain, as i'm not fond of icons y navigate mostly through searches.


    I already tried troobleshooter, powershell commands and sfc scan..

    Any other ideas would be welcomed.




    Thanks !

    :)
