Windows 10: Windows search bar keeps getting suspended

This started happening out of nowhere. When I click the search bar it was just black, I tried ending searchapp.exe and it stopped being blank but the search wouldn't work. Now every time I try and end the task it stays blank and gets suspended immediately after it auto starts. The only thing I downloaded before this started happening, or at least before I noticed it, was apex legends. I ran ccleaner to fix my registery, cleared cmos, updated windows, reinstalled drivers, ran windows anti virus to see if I had a virus, and nothing, no change. I've also been having issues with running games lately, the past 3 games I've downloaded have crashed randomly, idk if this is related or not. Im tempted to reinstall windows but I don't want to have to reinstall everything. Maybe my ssd is failing? I'm not sure.

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.
