Windows 10: Searchbox opens up on the top of start menu with the new 2004 update

As I press the Windows key, I expect the start menu to open up showing the tiles, and as I type it should search for programs or files.

But after the recent 2004 update, it opens the search box on the top of the start menu, with just one window key press. I can't access the start menu tiles as they are always behind the search window.

Please help If there is a fix for this issue

Windows 10 Start Menu won't open.

Hi Dougie,

Corrupted system files could be one of the reason why Start Menu is not opening.

As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps listed in this article:
Troubleshoot problems with the Start menu or Cortana
see if it helps resolve the issue.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

The start button color? I agree with Paul - if this is the top 10 list, then Win10 is in great shape.

Hello,

We appreciate your persistent patience n this issue.

At this point, I suggest you to check if the same issue occurs when logged in through a different Local Administrator user account.



Follow the steps:

• Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
• From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
• From the displayed options click Sign out.
  
• From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.

However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set
up accounts.

Kindly keep us posted on the status of the issue.

Thank You.
