Help! My Windows 11 Search Bar Isn't Working

I'm having a frustrating issue with my Windows 11 laptop. The search bar isn't functioning at all; nothing happens when I click on it. Also, when I click the Windows icon, it shows up, but I can't type anything in there either. To make things worse, if I try to click the search bar, it just closes immediately. I just bought this laptop two weeks ago, and I've been experiencing this problem for the last two days. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

I've encountered something similar before. First off, try restarting your laptop. You can do this by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL, then clicking the power icon in the bottom right corner and selecting 'Restart'. Let me know if that resolves the issue!

I restarted it, and it worked! Thank you so much! 😊 However, I now have another problemโ€”I'm trying to activate Windows, but when I go to settings, then system and click activation, it freezes. Any suggestions on that?
