Search Button Not Working

Question

When I press the search button on Windows 10, the search box doesn't appear. When my cursor is above the button it highlights it but the search box doesn't show. I am not using Cortana, just the basic search. And someone said to Restart Cortana in the Task manager, but there is no Cortana there. (Look at screenshots)

Answer 1

Didn't work. This is what it says:

Answer 2

That's your problem - Search = Cortana, Cortana = Search.

Open powershell as administrator and try the following

Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Answer 3

Did anyone try to remove Cortana or did this just happen?

Does the following folder exist?

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy
