Recently the blank search has been hitting many people. There are many fixes out there but if there are still problems for people, try going to task manager> windows explorer and press restart. Worked for me, maybe will help you all out there. Cheers.

I recently got a HP laptop (db0125au) with a Ryzen 5 2500U and it comes with 1x8GB single channel RAM.
