    Problem with windows 10

    If I try to type anything in the search box for example “Bluetooth” or "control panel" the panel opens the closes after 5 seconds, Not very tech savy, trying to add earbuds

    I have run Defender and Malwearbytes no viruses I did get a windows update a few days ago, not sure if the problem was there before

    Sometimes I am unable to type anything in the search box!

    Any ideas?

    It is possible that your Windows is damaged, it is difficult to guess the reason and it is quite likely that you will not find this error never and you will have to do a new installation of Windows. Maybe is needed even a complete new clean installation.
    By the way, would you mind revealing the secret of what computer this is and what version of Windows is being used and also, when it was installed there?

    Are you sure the search isn't out of the question?

    In what sense is this link a "bad link"? What does that mean?
