Always include the exact PC model and version of Windows in your posts. 

Does keyboard work ok everywhere else, aside from Search? For example, if you select Start>Run instead of Start>Search, can you type anything in the Run box?

For starters, follow these steps...

  1. At desktop, open a CMD prompt window, Run as administrator
  2. At the prompt, type in: chkdsk c: /r and press Enter. Accept offer to run chkdsk at next boot and reboot PC. chkdsk will run before Windows loads so be patient.
  3. Back at the desktop, open a CMD window as in step 1.
  4. At the prompt, type in: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press Enter. Be sure to include a space in front of each / and note any error messages when that's done.
  5. Assuming no "unfixed" errors in #4, at the CMD prompt, type in: sfc /scannow and press Enter. Be sure to include a space in front of the / and note any errors when that's done.
  6. Assuming no "unfixed" errors in #4 or #5, reboot PC and test again...
