My PC is completely up to date win 10.

Is this an additional behind the scenes update that is not yet automatically available?

Just saw a solution in another forum and also this reason:  https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Windows-10-Suchfunktion-derzeit-fuer-viele-Nutzer-kaputt-Workaround-verfuegbar-4653892.html (german - use browser translation features)
