Hello, I’ve tested in two different machines and confirmed that after the “feature update to windows 10 version 1909 via enablement package (KB4517245)” it’s no longer possible to copy-paste to the search box present in folders (upper right corner) using the mouse, the right click is completely disabled.
For now I’ve removed the (KB4517245)…
I have the KB4524570 CU Windows 10 v1903 build 18362.476 the problem only happens after the installation of the (KB4517245). With the build 18362.476 everything works perfect.
This has to be a windows bug.
Please help.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Have you reported it using the Feedback Hub for the developer to look at. I can see what you mean a right click shows the history for me. Ctrl + v will copy from the clipboard though.
Thank you. Have never use a ctrl + v operating in the file explorer to copy anything. Why do we need this work-around to make file explorer to work again? Weird.

So far the fix for 2 of my co-workers machine was to rebuild the index. It's only been a few days but they haven't told me its broke again.
Control Panel
View Small or Large icons to see the entire list.
Indexing Options
Click Advanced
Click Rebuild.
Click Ok
Click close on the indexing window once the rebuild is complete.
Hope this helps others
Same here. MS loves to change things and not give you options of going back. If I didnt need it for work, would never use Windows again.
Person Me,
How did you go back to 1903? I tried rolling back to 1903 and ended up going back to Windows Pro, Version, 1809, OS 17763.864. Is there a way to install just 1093 until MS fixes the search box problem? I use search all the time looking for photos by partial names, dates, and file type everyday. Thanks
I have the Microsoft media tool for build1903 on a USB stick. I have other computer setup here with 1909 and they all are not working properly.
I tried the 'fix':
Microsoft Windows 10
File Explorer
Loads thumbnails slowly or not at all, gets stuck on Working On It
Open Indexing Options in the Control Panel
Click Show all locations
Click Modify
Uncheck everything
Check your user folder
Check all folders in which you keep personal files and media
Click OK
Reboot the PC
Didn't work for me on my other 8 windows systems but for some reason I really couldn't follow the instruction.
The first instruction: Open Indexing Options in the Control Panel. I couldn't find 'indexing options' in the windows control panel, its not there? So the fix for me is broken.
