Windows 10 Search Bar Closes After Typing Version

I have worked through what you suggested:I enabled the hidden Administrator account and logged inThe search worked as it should!I logged back in as myself. (I had to set an Administrator password to be able to select the login options)The search did not work (the same issues as my original post).I opened a command window as Administratorand ran sfc and DISMHere is a copy/past of the session:Microsoft Windows Version 10.0.14393(c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:WINDOWSsystem32 sfc /scannowBeginning system scan.

I have exact same problem as.The Windows 10 Search was working fibne when one day after some update it just crashes after typing one or more letters.Whenever I type sth in the box I see Search Window dissapear from srcreen without showing any results and Search app and Search Background Task Host helper dissappear/crash from Task Manager, and after a second Search reappears in Task Manager.

WheneverI click on spyglass and search window opens I see spawn 2 Search Background Task Hosts in TM. There should be only one, or more?I have made new local profile on the machine and search works in this new profile just fine.I tried the1.'

Get -AppXPackage' method from elevated PowerShell,2. Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth from elevated cmd,3. Sfc /scannow from elevated cmd,4. Deleting%USERPROFILE%/.blf and.reg-trans files,5. Ntpq p .init. 16 u 128 0 0.000 0.000 0.000. Deleting%USERPROFILE%/AppData/TileDataLayer folder (which made my tiles on Start Menu dissappear completly),6.

Deleting%ProgramData%/Microsoft/Search folderand none of this resolved the issue!All I see around internet is to create a NEW USER PROFILE which I have created several times now, and I refuse to do so any more!I have seen a forum thread in which someone claims to have reset some text service and in that way managed to fix this. I haven't tried this and lost the internet link somewhere,ahh.This is the problem with user profile config files, as on another user profile Search works fine, despite Windows Search and Indexing ToubleShooter finding some file and folder permissions problems, which it is unable to fix!So does anyone know how to fix user profile so Search works again?!? I had this exact problem and like you didn't like the 'create a new profile' answer as a solution. I've resolved this issue for myself without having to do that and figured I'd relay my steps:Note: I did all the file manipulation from a bootable USB linux distro, you can probably do this all from windows provided you're not logged into the accounts you're using below. you might not have to do this step, so try without first Delete anything 'cortana' in your user profile AppData folder (c:Users your-profile-nameAppData). I did a search for 'cortana' in the root of AppData then deleted everything. Navigate to a user profile AppData folder that cortana still works under and copy this folder and all its files in this path:c:Users Different-working-profileAppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.Windows.Cortana string of random charsto the same location under your profile (if you followed step one, you have deleted this folder).

reboot the machine into your profile.At this point cortana was working again 'sort of' for me as I could search again, but I could not launch applications (just applications, files would open).
