Windows 10: Windows 10 - Windows Search field in Windows Explorer

I have a machine, where the user commonly navigates to a folder, and uses the Windows search field to search for documents in that folder. At least 4 days a week, at some point, she will click the search field and the cursor does not appear in the box. She can't type anything in it to do a search.

She can click and click and swear at it, the cursor never appears in the box and she cannot type in it.
Rebooting will restore it to working order... until the next time.
We have rebooted many times.
We have run all available Windows updates that Windows update finds.
I had a look at the Windows Search service in services.msc and it is set to start automatically, restart on first failure, restart on second failure, and restart on subsequent failures.
We have rebuilt the index in the Indexing Options screen.
We have run the Searching and Indexing Troubleshooter, it does not find an issue.

What can we do to resolve this issue? I'm running out of ideas.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
