File Explorer search not working in Windows 10 1909

Ever since I updated to Windows 10 1909 the Search Box in the File Explorer is completely unuseable. It shows a text cursor but I cannot click inside the box or type any text into it. Essentially it's a text box with no "wiring". 

Any ideas how to resolve this issue? I'm having to resort to using a third-party search app just to find files in my projects.

Kind regards

Byron

    You should really start your own thread with this question.

    One comment for now. Are you copying the file in the same folder and then pasting the file to the same folder. If so then that is what happens, a copy is created. (happened in Win 7 I think)

    If you copy the same file from another location then a prompt should appear.

    If we do not know why this problem happens, any solution that a user proposes can create another more serious problem. So let's wait for the next update.
