Windows 10: Taskbar Search Issue in Windows 11

Hi everyone,Recently, I've been experiencing an issue with the taskbar search. I'm unable to type anything or input characters, and after a few seconds, the taskbar crashes. I followed Microsoft's tutorial and temporarily fixed it by stopping the SearchHost.exe process in the Task Manager. However, the issue reappears every time I restart my computer.Could anyone help me find a permanent solution for this problem? I apologize if my English isn't perfect, but I hope my explanation is clear.Thank you!
