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

Well I've read online that Microsoft will fix this in next update in March or April 2020. But till then you have to deal with it. :P
well no you can use a small software called "Everything" and all your search related problems will be gone in a second.
I've tested it and its blazing fast,
You can have a detailed information in the link below,

This is a pretty fundamental bug. I have uninstalled and reinstalled version 1909 twice in the vain hope Microsoft would have fixed it. Search must be one of the most commonly used functions? When is it going to be fixed or preferably restored to its original state?

It's been mentioned earlier in this thread that it is fixed and will be released in the Spring update, which will be in May. Or you can join the insider program to install a beta version of that release now. Scroll up for details.

Thanks - just seems completely irresponsible (actually unbelievable) to make people wait four months if the fix is already available. I used to use search a number of times every day until its functionality was removed. What planet are Microsoft on? BTW I've been a PC user since DOS and Windows 3.
