Search Box Not Working in Windows 10 Stat Menu & File Explorer Can't Type Anything | Fixed

In this video, I will show you a guaranteed method to fix search box not working or can't type anything in windows 10 start menu or file explorer.

This issue is more common in recent updates of windows 10 operating system such as windows 10 build 1903, 1909, 1909, 2004, however, it can appear in older windows 10 builds such ad 1809, 1803 or older as well as the older versions such as windows 8.1, windows 8 and windows 7.



The command line that you will use can be a one of the followings:

Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml


If the Cortana app disabled or not supported in your computer after updating windows to new edition, use this command line:

Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\AppxManifest.xml


To disable PowerShell restriction:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted


To revert the PowerShell execution policy setting into restricted mode:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Restricted.




If the Windows 10 version is 1903 or later, use the Windows PowerShell script to reset search app if can't typing anything or not responding:
