Using the search in the taskbar, start or filexplorer doesn't work.
Task manager shows SearchHost.exe starting up when trying to search but then quickly gets suspended.
I've tried safe boot, scannrow, troubleshoot, resetting cortana, updating and basically everything suggested to other users.
When I upgraded to windows 11 last night the search function was working until today. I've changed the font yesterday but then later reset it back to normal using control panel and the registry but to no avail.

Thank you for your answer, although at this time I am not seeing resetting my operating system as something I want to do. But I will try to provide more information.

II've tried to restore a previous version of windows 11 that was created before installing a module from yesterday, I have no idea what I did for it to not function but restoring a different version reset the issue.
