Windows 11 Taskbar Search Box Keeps Loading After Opening
After upgrading the system to Windows 11, clicking on the taskbar search box continuously displays a loading state (spinning circle or no results). However, the search function works normally on another computer upgraded to the same version. It is currently unclear whether this issue is caused by differences in system configuration or corruption of the index. A targeted repair solution is requested.
