right click start button
choose WIndows Terminal (admin)
if it doesn't open as Powershell, click the arrow in title area and pick powershell
copy/paste this command into window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter
Then type SFC /scannow
and press enter
Restart PC if SFC fixes any files as some fixes require a restart to be implemented
First command repairs the files SFC uses to clean files, and SFC fixes system files
SFC = System File Checker. First command runs DISM - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/what-is-dism?view=windows-11

Did not fix issue. Tried it twice. When I went to CMD there was a msg

"Install the latest PowerShell for new features and improvements! https://aka.ms/PSWindows "

I tried this on my second try, but did not help. Any other ideas? Also did "restart"

what should happen is it should open the search bar. If you going to search, why not use the button on taskbar?
have you tried it?
