Unable to type text in any of start (search func)

• As mentioned in title, I was unable to type in the start (press start > press any key to search)
• Unable to type wifi password too (but can paste) > essentially the wifi passcode textbox that popups up from taskbar
• I have tried many well-known antiviruses, malwarebytes etc. but none could solve the issue
• I have also tried powershell scripts to fix but it doesn't work either:

Hi Rene,

If you meant the Cortana search bar, review the suggested solutions on these threads:

• Can't type in Windows 10 search bar.
• Can't type anything in Win 10 Apps (Cortana, Search, Calculator, Feedback, etc.)
  

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Richard,

To better assist you, please clarify the following:

• What steps have you taken so far?
• did you receive and error message?

I would suggest you to run System File Checker. its a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restored corrupted files. Follow the steps below:

• Press Win + R on the keyboard
• Type CMD the hit OK
• Type: sfc/scannow at the Command Prompt.

Let us know how it goes.
