    Hello LarkinFox to fix the Windows 11 Taskbar search box keeps loading its best to try to restart your computer/laptop  or you can fix it by my method 

    first Press Windows Key + R key   then type explorer.exe and click ok and now the system will restart the taskbar

     

     

     

  • Can you try these steps and see if they helps:

    Open Task Manager.

    Go to Details tab.

    Locate SearchHost.exe process, select it and click End task.

    In confirmation prompt, click End process.

    Restart system, check if the issue is resolved.
