Search Box Not Clickable?!

Hi folks,

Hope someone can help with this.

This morning, for some strange reason, the Search box is not clickable - so I cannot initiate a search.

Worked yesterday and, as far as I am aware, Windows has not been updated since then.

Any thoughts / suggestions / fixes?

This is the first of two queries this morning, the second appears here

Cheers,

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to reset the Windows Search components to fix problems with the feature on Windows 11.

Can you check if you have any Store updates.
When this happens for me, windows update has done an update, but the store update for startmenu still has to be done, after the store update is completed, search works again. Open store -> goto left column the most lowest button, and update it all.
Perhaps it already works again, can you check what store updates has have run?

Can you also show you windows update history?
