The search bar in Windows 10 is a central point from where we can access programs, websites, emails, files and in general all the content hosted on the system. For this reason, this is a quick way to open these elements, but with the passage of time it is possible that the search bar has errors that affect its operation and therefore we can see the following:

  • Results are not displayed
