I am having an issue with the search icon in the taskbar. When I click it nothing happens. It does highlight the icon but that is it.

Any ideas on this or is this an actual bug in Win 11 atm?

It's not broken for me.

How about the Start button? A search bar has been added to the top of that. (It really just opens the Search window.) I mention that less as a work-around than as a test.

I've had this issue pop up once but it's always quickly resolved itself within 5 minutes.

I don't have an issue with the search from the Start Menu, just from the taskbar.

Since my PC updated to the latest Beta the other day this resolved this search issue I was happening.
