Cannot type anything on the task bar and inside setting search bar!

Hi, 

I've recently updated my laptop to the newest version of Windows 10, since then I started to notice that I cannot input any keys / characters from my keyboard on the task bar and inside setting search bar. May I know how to resolve this issue? I have no trouble typing on any other apps / platforms including this Google Chrome, Office, and other typing apps. I can literally type on anything except these two.

Thank you for the attention.

Hi, khinghua97

My name is Marc, thanks for participating in the Microsoft Community, I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

I recommend using SFC

Press the Start key and type the word CMD, right click on the command prompt and select Run as administrator, enter the following commands one by one followed by the Enter key:
•- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
•- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
•- DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
•- sfc /scannow

Thanks for the help. But unfortunately, I can't type anything at all after I pressed the Start key.  Also, I realized I can't type anything in Edge browser as well.

I recommend you to completely repair Windows before you have to make a copy of your personal files
