Windows10 Searchbox not Allowing Text Input

In summary, the Windows10 searchbox may not be allowing text input due to a glitch in the system, a problem with the searchbox itself, or an issue with the keyboard or mouse. Troubleshooting steps include restarting the computer, updating the system, checking for software conflicts, or running a virus scan. It is possible to disable the searchbox, but it is not recommended as it can cause other issues. Third-party software may also be causing the issue, and it is best to seek professional help if the problem persists.

Hi,
I can't enter any text into my Windows10 searchbox. Obviously it's not a keyboard problem, as I am typing this in. I looked up a few solutions, neither worked. Any ideas?
