Windows 10: Taskbar search is extremely slow on one account but works fine on another.

So, I have Windows 11 installed on my PC and I gave two accounts. When I try to search for something using the taskbar search input it freezes for about 30 second before I can even type something in. And after that there is still some lags between typing another letters. It's basically unusable and I like to use that a lot so I need to find some solution. The funny thing is that it works perfectly fine on my second account, which doesn't make sense for me. I've tried to use the search and indexing troubleshooter but no results. Any ideas how to fix it?

Taskbar search

Did not do anything to help. The search in File Explorer works fine. The first and last screen shot shows a search leading to no results but the file explorer finds them just fine. The last one shows my indexing options.

Thank you

Original Title - Win10 app super slow

Hi,

My win10 pc becomes super slow when opening any win10 metro app. The search bar does not work, the start menu is extremely slow, and edge browser/windows store failed to response etc. I tried to switch to another account in my computer, and it is fine for
those accounts. I also tried to delete and re-create the problematic account, but the problem did not gone anyway.

Could you please help me to sort this issue out? Any comment and suggestion?

Thank you very much!

my taskbar search is working sporadically

My taskbar search bar is working some of the time. For example, if I type in "TaskMgr", it will list taskmgr, and when I click on it, it opens my Task Manager, as expected.

But if I type in a file name or an app, like WinMerge, it will list them properly in the Search list, but if I click on them, either nothing happens or it takes me to the root window of File Explorer, instead of to the file or the app.

I ran through all the steps on this page, to no avail: How to fix search problems in Windows 10

Any ideas?
