Windows search bar problem - searching for updates creates a problem.

i bought a new laptop and i typed the word, up, in the search bar.

i typed, up, because it auto completes usually to updates, and then i click on check for updates,

and the computer opens the update panel.

 

i found the following problem.

i press up.

the check for updates appears.

then i press check for updates, the blue button.

and then, after any updates get installed, the keyboard stops typing completely.

i go in the browser, and i cannot type.

the only thing i can do in that occassion, is i can go back to the search bar, and i press backspace one time.

and then it auto completes the word, up. 

this does not work if i have typed any other word, including, update.

it appears to happen, only if you search for the, check for updates, button, by typing, up, and waiting for the

autocomplete.

after the keyboard gets stuck, you press backscape in the search bar, in the bottom of windows,

and it auto completes, up. and you cannot type, until you restart.
