Win10 1909 has changed the search bar and has some bugs in this respect: sometimes, search just stops working, the search bar within explorer is grayed out, then, and this can be overcome by restarting the explorer.exe process through task manager.<br />
<br />
Is that what you see, I mean, are you on 1909 and is the search bar becoming unresponsive?

Yes 1909 <br />
<br />
Is restarting window as effective? Is &quot;restarting the explorer.exe process through task manager.&quot; any better or the same?

Is restarting window as effective? Is "restarting the explorer.exe process through task manager." any better or the same?

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
