    Hello. Had a new version of Windows placed on my PC after a major hardware change. Windows 10 Pro - Version 21H1 - Build 19043.1348.Problem is the search bar by the start button does not work so I am unable to search at all, no text can be written in the box, and if I try a black box appears then disappears just as quickly. Originally Cortana didn't work either, bizarrely saying "English" isn’t supported in the region although that seems now to work.I have tried every single suggestion online bar the registry change suggestion re stopping the link between BING and the search bar but I

  2. Search Bar/Cortana

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

    From the description, I understand that you are still receiving the pop up notifications, despite having disabled the search functionality in windows 10.

    Steps to disable the Search Bar

    • Right click on the task bar.
    • Select the "Search" option.
    • Select "Disable."
    However, if the above steps don't work out, perform the below suggested steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Open a CMD window started as Administrator.

    Repair corruption: Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth.

    Run this command next: Sfc /scannow

    Now run these two commands:

    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Hope the above information was helpful.

    Thank You.
