Search bar not working in Windows 10

Post by Dragosvr92 »

If you cant type in the Windows 10 search bar do the following.
  1. Paste this command in the Windows address bar or Run. %SYSTEMROOT%\System32
  2. Locate ctfmon.exe, right click it and click Send to... Desktop(create shortcut)
  3. Copy the desktop shortcut and go to %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
  4. Cut and paste the shortcut there, and also open it once to bring back the typing functionality.
Now everytime the pc starts it will open ctfmon. This error seems to occour because of KMSpico. It also affects the Whatsapp typing area.
