    So this is a weird bug of windows 10 search.



    I reported this bug to the community before, believing it to be a device-specific problem. It is not.



    Check this link, also posted by me:

    The problem is that Windows search coverup the taskbar and make the rest of the screen black.



    When I press Win + S to open search or touch the touchpad with three fingers, the size of the search menu does not fit, and the rest of the screen is filled with black. It does not respond to mouse click, although mouse and keyboard work fine meaning that all keyboard shortcut and mouse is functional, just the black area does not respond to my click:

    I know this is a bug because this problem disappear as soon as I open the start menu. Even if I open it only once after booting the computer, the search window would be fine again:

    This bug is simply caused by the fact that I hide my search button from the toolbar. If I show it, the bug disappears.

    The bug is obviously due to the search mechanism is not properly launched if the button is hidden. When the start menu is turned on, the mechanism is launched and temporarily fixed, until the system is rebooted.



    I hope MS can fix this problem soon. I will report it through the feedback hub.

    :)

    Windows search coverup the taskbar and make the rest of the screen black

    Hi,

    I have encountered a weird problem. When I first turn on my laptop:


    Windows three finger search coverup the taskbar and make the rest of the backscreen black Fixed 2810b524-1689-472e-8a08-671b56939a6b?upload=true.jpg


    It seems to be fine. But when I press Win + S to open search (or touch the touchpad with three fingers), the size of the search menu does not fit:

    Note that the rest of the screen is filled with black. It does not respond to mouse click, although mouse and keyboard work fine (meaning that all keyboard shortcut and mouse is functional, just the black area does not respond to my click).

    However, there is a way to bypass this problem. I notice that this problem disappear as soon as I open the start menu:

    Note that the start menu works fine. Even if I open it only once after booting the computer, the search dialogue would be functional:

    I have tried disabling all startups. I have also tried disabling all services. I also tried a safe boot. They all did not work.

    Ah, I suppose I interpreted your issue incorrectly. The search menu is one of those so called Universal Windows Apps. As such, there are steps you can take to try and remedy that by using PowerShell.

    Go here and download this PowerShell script:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/452014...


    Right-click the Start menu > select Windows PowerShell (Admin) > paste the following command:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

    Right-click the PowerShell script file you downloaded > select Run with PowerShell.

    Logoff and on again and confirm if the issue has corrected itself.

    • Press Windows Key + X on your keyboard.
    • Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type or copy these commands followed by hitting Enter:

      sfc /scannow
