  1. Search broken. Online resources don't help.


    I can not search for anything on my PC anymore. Build 1903. Education edition.

    This is what it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/lRNPf9y.png

    Cortana has the green leaf icon in my process list, so it appears to be suspended. SearchUI.exe in the details list says suspended as well. I do not use third party antivirus software. I cannot update due to my graphics drivers not being compatible (they are made for certain builds, it's a eGPU). I have not done anything recently to my system that should have caused this. I have tried "sfc /scannow" in elevated CMD, index troubleshooter in settings, reinstalling Cortana in Powershell, but none produce viable results. I use the search function for almost everything. It's been having issues lately (cant execute from search minus a few applications like settings), but now it won't produce any results at all. This is so frustrating. Google isn't much help.

    Edit: On restart, I can open the search menu and it does function properly (so seems like not a corruption issue). At some point after starting my computer, it becomes suspended. My memory usage is only sitting at 12%, so there's no reason it should be disabled. Device specs: https://i.imgur.com/uwNF7oM.png

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
