My search bar isn't working. So basically, every time i press on the search bar or click the windows icon the search bar doesn't work. Neither file explorer search bar, etc. Anyone know a fix? Tried restarting my computer several times. Even tried to factory reset my computer, if I tried to factory reset my computer, it would come up with a error.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Cortana and search

    Dear SimonShin1,I understand you are getting the Runtime broker error;

    Initially I recommend that you do the following;

    Press Windows key + I and access Accounts;

    Click on input options;

    In privacy disable the option 'Use my login information to automatically complete my device settings after an update or reboot';

    Check for new updates on Windows Update:

    1: Open the Windows 10 "Start" menu and select the "Settings" item.

    2: then select the "Update and Security" option.

    3: in the "Windows Update" section, click "Check for updates".

    4: If there are no updates, the message "You are up to date" will be displayed.

    5: if there is any pending system update, the message "Features update for Windows 10 ..." will be displayed, then click on the "Download and install" item to start the system update.

    6: wait for the update download to finish and restart the PC, or schedule a restart to be able to finish the procedure.

    Run system file checker and disk error checking;

    Open CMD (Command Prompt) as administrator;

    Copy and paste the commands below followed by Enter after typing each command line;

    Sfc /ScanNow

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

    chkdsk /f /r

    Wait for the process to finish and restart the pc;

    Check if the problem still occurs;

    I hope I helped, even more!

    Hello SimonShin1, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

    I understand that the Windows 10 search bar is not working;

    Initially I recommend that you try running the Search and Indexing troubleshooting;

    Press Windows key + I and access Update and Security;

    Click Troubleshoot and then Additional Troubleshooters;

    Select Search and Index and click Run troubleshooting;

    Check if the problem is resolved;

    Try restarting Windows Explorer;

    Press together the keys: Ctrl + Shift + Esc to access the Task Manager;

    Locate the Windows Explorer process;

    Right-click on it and select the Restart option;

    Make sure the search service is running;

    Press Windows key + R and type: services.msc hit Enter;

    Locate the Windows Search service and double-click on it;

    In Startup Type, change to Automatic;

    Under Service Status if it is Running, click Stop and then Start;

    Check that the search now works normally;

    I hope I have helped, see you soon!
