Windows Search gone white but everything is dark mode and fine. I've been starting to customise my PC so I think the customisation is the problem. Windhawk doesn't seem to be the problem. I uninstalled YASB, whkd and komorebic.

Thank you for the screenshots, your PC is not windows 11 compatible you will not be able to update using the normal methods, you have a 4th gen Intel processor and the minimum requirements for Windows 11 is an 8th gen processor.

This problem is a bug that is being reported by many people at the moment, open PowerShell as Administrator again, then run this command and press Enter, then restart your PC to apply the change.

New-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" -Force; Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" -Name "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" -Value 1 -Type DWord -Force

Open PowerShell by right clicking its icon and select 'Run as Administrator'.

In PowerShell, run this command and press Enter:

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe; start explorer.exe

When that command completes close PowerShell and check if that resolves the problem.

2

If that does not resolve the problem, open the Settings App.

Go to Personalization - Colors.

Toggle the 'Choose your Mode' setting a couple of times between Dark and Light Mode to test if that resolves the problem.

If that does not resolve the problem.

In the Settings App, go to System - Recovery.

Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Updates' section, then wait for that process to complete.

That process should fix any corruption in Windows and it will not affect your files, settings or installed apps.
