So, I built this computer a few years ago and haven't had any issues, but today I noticed Windows Search wasn't working properly. As soon as I click on the bar, the box that appears closes immediately and I'm unable to type anything. The same thing happens when I try to use task view either with the button or Win+tab. I then tried to go to settings to use the troubleshooter but when I open anything in settings it behaves like I'm pressing and holding the down arrow key. Super weird.
I've tried re-registering and reinstalling all the windows apps as well as running
sfc/ scannow
and
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
There were some corrupted files that were repaired, so I checked to see if it fixed anything and it didn't, so I reset my computer and ran them again and everything was fine but things still aren't working. Oh, I also saw someone suggest deleting the registry for Search, and that didn't do anything either. I'm at a loss!
Update: I also just tried restoring the computer to the last restore point, 3 weeks ago. This did not help either.
