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.
Windows 10 is the most fully-featured operating system Microsoft has ever released, but to find everything in it you often need its powerful search tool. When Windows 10's file search stops working, though, it can be really problematic. Fortunately, getting it back on its feet isn’t as difficult as you might think.
Why is Windows 10 Search Not working?
Updating to the newest version of Windows can sometimes cause a problem with search. Sometimes Cortana, the smart-assistant that powers much of Windows' search functionality can bug out, causing problems for the entire search tool.
You can end up facing poor search results, or maybe even a blank results page entirely, making Windows' search tool completely redundant.
After each of the following suggestions, attempt to search again. If it still doesn't work, move on to the next tip. If you're still having problems, consult our tutorial on what to do if the Windows 10 Start Menu isn't working.
