Windows 11 search function slow to display results on initial boot.
The problem:
When trying to search for an app for the first time since boot-up, the results are blank and takes around 20 seconds to be displayed. But the function has actually found the app I am searching for and its only the displaying part that is lagging because I can see the app's name being auto-completed and the app actually launches if I press enter at this stage.
I remember this issue starting only recently, as in around 3-4 months ago if I am remembering it correct. I figured its the usual bug which will be fixed in the upcoming or the update after that but this has persisted for long enough for me to make a post in this forum.

I am on build 26100.7462 for reference.

Hey, have you resolved the issue yet? I've been having exactly the same problem for several months now. I even reinstalled windows once because I thought the problem was due to corrupted files, but it was no help. I also discovered that it's caused by webview2, because if I delete the EdgeWebView folder, everything works fine. But this is a temporary solution, because webview2 is restored over time and it's also needed for the normal operation of some programs.

Sometimes, the search process is tied to Windows Explorer.
