Windows 10: My search doesnt work at all the one you can find in taskbar/through right click on windows...

So as stated in the question, my search doesnt workit doesnt open/ignores input. i have been looking at the tutorials how to fix it, but mostly didnt work at all. All that i have noticed - SearchApp.exe doesnt work by itself and even if i open it by myself, after 1-2 seconds it disappears from services.maybe this could be useful, but right before i have been trying to change the user's file name but it failed, so i gave up. Also while i have been rebooting pc, windows decided to download updates.

my taskbar search is working sporadically

My taskbar search bar is working some of the time. For example, if I type in "TaskMgr", it will list taskmgr, and when I click on it, it opens my Task Manager, as expected.

But if I type in a file name or an app, like WinMerge, it will list them properly in the Search list, but if I click on them, either nothing happens or it takes me to the root window of File Explorer, instead of to the file or the app.

I ran through all the steps on this page, to no avail: How to fix search problems in Windows 10

Any ideas?
