  1. Windows 11 Search Bar - Not showing apps when typing the App name


    Hi, My system is Windows 10 Enterprise version 22H2, managed by the Company I work for IT Department. When I click on the Windows Start Button and start typing an app name, sometimes I don't get any results. For example, if I start typing "power" the first option shown by the menu is "PowerPoint" which is perfect, but most of the apps I have installed never show up for example, I have Autocad, and typing "autocad" don't show the app, but instead an option to search the web.Not a big issue, just a quite annoying since I just wanted to use my keyboard to launch apps.Any idea?

    :)

    Can't Type In Search Bar and Windows 10 Built-in Apps.

    Hello,
    I've been having this issue for quite a while, even before the last major update.
    Seems like I can't find a way to correct it.
    If I bring up the search bar, by right-clicking on the Windows Logo Icon within the taskbar.
    Then select search.
    I'm unable to type anything into the search box.

    However, I can type into notepad, copy that text and past it into the search bar.
    This also works for other Windows 10 built-in apps, for which typing text is required.
    The keyboard I'm using is the Logitech G413, which is only a few months old.
    I've also moved the USB cables to a different port, without any effect.
    I've also tried a secondary keyboard, the Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL and this keyboard also shows the same behavior. No matter which USB port it's connected to.
    I've also tried using the on-screen keyboard, and this also will not type into the search bar, or Windows 10 built-in apps.Any suggestions?
