Windows 10: Windows Search is Visually Broken

Issue started a few days ago and I can't find a solution to it. Tried to manually rebuild the font cache from different guides but its still broken. Basically, when I open windows search, its normal. However when I start to search stuff there is just a grey screen in the dialogue box that simply doesn't load anything even after a minute. Here's how it looks If I click the invisible results, it still works. This means the UI is broken but not the functionality. I've tried restarting multiple times but its still broken. Can someone please provide a fix?'Alternatively, sometimes the results DO

The Reason that causes Windows 10 Search bar visual glitch

The Reason that causes Windows 10 Search bar visual glitch

The test was carried out on a clean installation of Windows 10 downloaded from the Microsoft website, without installing any software or drivers to avoid contaminating the test.

Step by step;

1- First I will show that the visual bug in Windows search does not happen.

1.1- To produce the visual bug in the Windows search bar immediately, you must right-click on the Windows logo, select Apps and Resources, you have to use the search within Apps and Resources even if you are viewing the application for force the bug to appear, I will search for calculator, then I will click on advanced options, then I will click on Terminate and then Reset, finally I will select the search bar for the bug to appear.

1.2- The visual bug will not appear now because I will first show the search bar working normally.

2- I will show why the bug was happening to me and hundreds if not thousands of people.



2.1 - To produce the visual bug in the Windows search bar immediately, you must right-click on the Windows logo, select Apps and Resources, you have to use the search within Apps and Resources even if you are viewing the application for force the bug to appear, I will search for calculator, then I will click on advanced options, then I will click on Terminate and then Reset, finally I will select the search bar for the bug to appear.

2.2- This problem happens when you activate an option in Windows "Show text suggestions as I type"

2.3- If you activate the options "Automatically correct words as I type" and "Show text suggestions based on the recognized languages ​​you are typing" the visual bug in Windows search does not occur" only if you activate the option "Show text suggestions as I type"

Note: The options “Automatically correct words as I type” does not work, it does not correct absolutely anything as you type and “Show text suggestions based on the recognized languages ​​you are typing“ also does not work, it does not provide text suggestions in other languages, two functions that do absolutely nothing.

2.4- By leaving the ""Show text suggestions as I type" option enabled, I believe it was also reactivating "News and Interests" even after disabling it, but I need to do more testing to confirm.

Note: I forced the bug to appear to prove who was causing the failure, without doing the procedure above but leaving “Show text suggestions as I type” activated, the graphical failure of Windows search happens randomly, that is, when activating other Parts of the system may also be causing the graphical failure in Windows search, in addition to the one shown in the video.
