    Unable to type text in any of start (search func)

    • As mentioned in title, I was unable to type in the start (press start > press any key to search)
    • Unable to type wifi password too (but can paste) > essentially the wifi passcode textbox that popups up from taskbar
    • I have tried many well-known antiviruses, malwarebytes etc. but none could solve the issue
    • I have also tried powershell scripts to fix but it doesn't work either:

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    3D Paint Textbox Moving By Itself Issue

    Hi Sami,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand how frustrating it could be when Windows features do not work as they are supposed to, however, upon checking this on multiple computers, I was able to position the textbox as per my requirements. It seems that there
    is some issue with the application settings on your end.



    I would suggest to reset the application or reinstall it, to achieve this, please follow the steps given below.



    Go to Settings->Apps->Apps & features->Paint 3D->Advanced options->Reset.



    If resetting the application does not work, it would suggest to uninstall it and reinstall it from Store. Please follow the steps mentioned below.



    • Right click on Start button (Windows logo) and choose
      Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    • Type Get-AppxPackage *Paint3D* | Remove-AppxPackage and hit the
      Enter key.
    • Upon the successful completion of the above command, Paint 3D will be removed from the computer.
    • Launch Windows Store and reinstall the application.


    Hope it helps.



    Regards,

    Peer Samie
