You click the search bar and the search bar is not responsive. You can't type or search with anyway through start menu.

Possible Cause

Solution

Option A – Rebuild Your Index

  • Go to setting
  • Find / search indexing option
  • On indexing option, click Advanced à Troubleshooting à Rebuild Index

  • Please wait for 5-15 minutes (on my 512 GB SSD it takes for 10 minutes)
  • Restart your computer

Option B – Troubleshoot

  • If the first option can't solve your problem, go the index setting and choose, Troubleshoot search and indexing
  • Follow the screen and restart your computer

Option C – Fixing your Index through Another Account

  • Add others user on your computer by visiting Setting – Account – Family & Others Users – Other Users
  • Add other users by inputting their email (outlook / live email)
  • Log off your account
  • Login with the new account
  • Please wait until you see a start menu, and search bar that can work for you
  • Log off from the new account
