This is a bug which I can help with...
What I did: Before typing in anything, I clicked the top of the search window which showed the whole thing back. But this should be done every time you use Windows Search.
Broken Search Menu on windows 10 insider after the latest update.

So the search menu broke on Windows 10 Insider 21H1 (build: 19043.906) Has this happened to anyone else?

2021-08-16T17:42:47+00:00 After months of frustration, Googling, searching, etc. I found the culprit of not being able to type into the search bar in Windows 10. The problem began with a Windows 10 update. I accidently found a solution for my PC... it is the font manager software I use (FontBase). I normally keep FontBase open when working in my Adobe Suite so I can easily access fonts to activate. If I have the program open I cannot type into the Search Bar. If I close FontBase, I can type/search away!
FYI the problem was on 2 of the 4 PCs I have in my print shop. Closing FontBase solved the problem on both.
