Discord: reverieviee: Ah, this is an issue specific to Windows 10. WinUtil is meant to be used in Windows 11, but the fix should be simple enough. The idea is that your search is attempting to make network calls to bing for web search and its timing out.
Run these commands in powershell as Administrator
# Disable web suggestions in Explorer and Windows Search
New-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" -Force | Out-Null
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" -Name "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" -Value 1 -Type DWord
New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" -Force | Out-Null
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" -Name "DisableWebSearch" -Value 1 -Type DWord
# Restart SearchApp and Explorer
Get-Process -Name SearchApp, explorer -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Stop-Process -Force
If that doesn’t fix it, let me know
