Windows 10: Search feature in Creators Update is broken for me after copyprofile

I am trying to prepare my image for deployment using the latest Windows 10 release (15063.250) and the search / Cortana feature seems to break after using the copyprofile flag in my unattend.xml file. I have searched this and seen it was an issue in past releases. Is this a widespread known issue, and if so, is there a workaround or solution to the problem? We have a lot of installs on the 10586 version, and I know I need to get busy updating those. I was hoping to use fresh images, but that is looking less likely right now.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Chris

"Hey Cortana, show me my alarms" or "set an alarm for 'x:xx'" opens Edge instead?!

Cortana seems seriously broken in the Creator update. I have used the feature daily for months prior to set and view alarms, but now, Cortana simply opens a webpage with the search terms for the words "show me my alarms," etc.

What the?!

I did a clean install of Windows 10 with the Media Creation tool and created a boot USB with the Creator ISO as well, so I'm confident that there's no issues there.

 

Windows 10 (English) system text show as gibberish

The same Font gibberish happen to me after the Creator update.

My solution after a 1 hour or so troubleshooting, was to reinstalled my Comodo firewall with an updated version of my firewall.

You should uninstall or update Comodo firewall before or after the Creator update.

Here is a Link to another possible fix for the Font gibberish symptom.

How To Fix Broken PowerShell In Windows 10 Creators Update

 

I use exclusively customized Windows, sysprepped and deployed. I have no issues with Cortana / Search after applying an image with CopyProfile=TRUE, not in 15063 nor in Insider build 16184. Not on physical machines, not on virtual machines.

 

I'm not sure what is going on with my set up then. I downloaded the 15063.0 iso from Microsoft and used that unmodified file. I have tried several different unattend files with the last one only containing the copyprofile=true to eliminate other possible issues. The only change I made to the install during audit was that I changed the wallpaper and colors. Upon logging in, the wallpaper and colors were changed, however when I click on cortana and start to type to search, still nothing populates.
