Search Not Working In Windows 10

[rccatnap]

Last week my Windows Search stopped working in Windows 10.
When I went into Update & Security through Settings, I went through to get the specific Troubleshooter, which proceeded to tell me it had found problems but it was fixed.
It wasn't. Is anyone aware of a recent Windows update that might have caused this?

Where are exactly are you trying to search? File manager?

Thank you for replying barry1010.
I can use File manager but if I right click the Start button I get a pop-up which has 'Search' underneath File manager and it's that which doesn't now work. I also have a small 'Search' window immediately to the right of the Start button in the task bar. That
doesn't work either.
When I click either Search large pop-up appears which is blank and closes automatically after a few seconds.

Running Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, OS build 19045.2604 here and Search is still working normally. No new updates, last one was in Feb.

Try pressing the Windows key and just start typing.

I have removed the search off my tool bar but that works.

Our machines all run the Insider program so sometimes suffer with 'dodgy' code, are you in that?

Perhaps the Search service is not running. To check whether it is or not:
Press “Windows + R” and type “services.msc”
On the Run dialog, press “OK”
Under “Local services”, find the “Windows Search” entry. If its status is not "Running" then right-click it, and select “Start”. If it is running try selecting "Restart".

Thank you youngmafbog, I did try that but I could only type one letter in the box but it would accept no more, then the pop-up closed down as before.
Etch, thank you also. I'm also running Windows 10 Home 22H2, though build 19045.2673. Looking in Local services indicates Windows Search is running already. I clicked 'off' then restarted.
Problem still there. It's not the end of the world, just a nuisance.
