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

select Quick access then click Applyand OK and see if this allows you to use the Search Box.
The search box still does not work, and in addition the quick access is not displayed when opening file explorer (it still shows This PC).
You have discovered another bug :)
The same for me. Additionally, glitches appear in the address bar.
I have the same problem! it seems to be inconsistent....
same problem
I have a similar problem and includes trying to add media to a family history programme.
Search is as described in previous posts but I then get the message "Family Historian has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".
Only started since Nov update was installed and when searching. Not received any solution yet.
