Taskbar Search and Start Menu Search are greyed-out and can't be used
Hello, I'm facing two issues. Not sure if the second one is causing the first one: My Search bar at the bottom of the screen is greyed out (I cannot type there) and the same happens when I open the Start menu (with Ctrl-Esc). Typing doesn't allow me to search for apps/settings/documents but simply highlights menu icons that are already shown in the Start Menu (so pressing 'e' highlights the Edge icon, etc) My cumulative Windows Insider 11 Update (Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.26120.4250) (KB5060820)) is failing upon restart with the 'Something didn't go as planned' message. The error code for the update is: 0x80070005 I tried reindexing and resetting the Windows Search service for 1) and retried the update for 2). No luck What would you suggest as a next step in troubleshooting?Removal of temporary mitigation in Windows updates for printing and scanning devices
A quick reminder that as of August 9, 2022, the security Windows updates removes all temporary mitigation released to all Windows updates between July 27, 2021 and July 26, 2022 for smart card authenticating printers, scanners, and multifunction devices that don’t support either: Diffie-Hellman (DH) for key exchange during PKINIT Kerberos authentication, Or, don’t advertise support for des-ede3-cbc ("triple DES”) during the Kerberos AS request Without this mitigation, smart card authentication (PIV) might fail on non-compliant devices and cause print and scan failures. Firmware on Smartcard-authenticating printers and scanners must be compatible with section 3.2.1 of the RFC 4556 specification required for CVE-2021-33764 prior to installing Windows updates released on August 9, 2022 or later on Active Directory domain controllers. Go to KB5005408: Smart card authentication might cause print and scan failures for more information.

Thank youThere are many similar items in Optional Updates section and I don't know which one to install
in Device manager there are a 4 hardware that need drivers and in Windows update => Optional updates section, there are 7 drivers listed but I don't know which one I am supposed to install. there needs to be more information there to tell us exactly which one to install. there are even drivers listed there with the date 1970!
