The Start menu is completely borked on my just updated from Windows 10 system.
Typing with the Start Menu open results in Pinned apps being selected, as though you're trying to find a specific app by its first letter, instead of typing input into the search field.
Manually clicking the search field with the mouse just closes the Start Menu altogether. I've had to resort to using third part Start Menu replacement tools just to get 11 functional on a basic level to launch apps.

I have the same issue.
I've made a clean installation. In the fist moment, the menu was working ok, but for some reason, the menu was closed every time I tried to click on the search band.
Now is working, but I didn't made anything to fix it. If I found the pattern, I will reply again with all the details.

Hi, Just Use Win Key +S. That Works. Win 11, for Me, When I Click Start Menu, and Type Something Like 'Device Manager' It Shows Some File That's in my FL Studio Program, OR...It Gives Me Some Lame Web Result. I Click Apps, Thinking Maybe Something, and it Says File Not Found. Yes...Device Manager Not Found. If You Just Hold Win Key and S Key, You'll Get a Search Box Open. When I Type in 'Device Manager' It Gives Me the Operating Systems Device Manager, and Not Some File, Embedded in a Software Program. I Don't Know What the Issue Is. Also...When I Try and Save a File in System32, and Image....It Won't Let Me, and Suggests i Save it in Pictures Folder...Even Though, I'm an Administrator. i Dunno...I Did Disable Secure Boot, so Maybe Bill Gates is Pissed at me. :p @HerrMansen
