It is a pretty basic task for an operating system to allow its users to search for a specific file or application. However, some users are experiencing trouble with Windows 10 start search (or Cortana search). This issue prevents users from typing into the search bar of the start search. Some users cannot interact with the search box, they can’t click on it or type in it or paste anything in it whereas some users can use CTRL + V command to paste in the search but they can’t actually type in the search bar. This is obviously not an issue with the keyboard since the issue appears only with the Windows 10 start search. As you can imagine, this can cause a lot of problems for users.

Windows taskbar search problems are never free from Windows 10 common errors, the typical phenomenon like can’t type in Windows 10 Search Bar, Windows search not working on Windows 10 or Windows 10 Creators Update, Cortana search not working, taskbar not working etc. Luckily, there are workable solutions to fix those annoying Windows search bugs. Below are 5 top ways for your reference.

It so happened to me that when typing inside Cortana, Windows 10 apps, Taskbar, Search Bar, and so on, everything was invisible. At first, I thought that there was something wrong with my keyboard, but then it turned out to be a problem with the apps from the Microsoft Store. So if you are not able to type anything in the Windows 10 Apps, try out these possible solutions. I want to add that you can right-click and paste the text inside those text boxes, but when I tried to type, everything stayed hidden.
