Search no longer works

Seems that following the latest windows 11 update the search bar no longer functions. I put the cursor into the search bar and it opens up like it used to, but there is nothing there, simply a white screen. I can type in what I am searching for but nothing happens.

    Hi, thank you for replying. If the issue persists, the next step is to create another admin user on the PC and use it permanently if that works.

    Go to Settings > Accounts > Other users > Add account

     

    Follow the prompts to create an account.

     

    Then go to Settings > Accounts > Other users > Select the account you created > Click "Change account type" then select "Administrator"

     

    Restart the PC and log in to the new account
