KB4532695 fixes the File Explorer’s search bar issues in v1903 & 1909. Below are direct download links for the KB4532695 offline installer.
For the last couple of months, the File Explorer and Control Panel search bar is somewhat broken. To be precise, the issues are prevalent in v1903 and v1909. This happened due to Microsoft trying to introduce a new unified search experience that can also search for your online files, like in OneDrive. This update fixes all those File Explorer and Control Panel search bar bugs. In addition to that, the update also fixes Windows Hello authentication accuracy, issues with the touch keyboard, USB type-c issues, etc.
Since this is not a security update, if you want to, you can wait a bit just to so that you don’t encounter other bugs with the current update. After installing the update, the Windows 10 build number will jump to 18363.628 for v1909.
Like always, you can directly download the update from the PC Settings by going to “Update & Security → Windows Update” and clicking on the “Check for updates” button. If you are facing problems with that, use the links below to download KB4532695 update offline installers.
