It did not work for me (Win10 x64).
After updating to 1909 and installing kb4532695 the explorer search box is still disabled.
I have a Microsoft Surface Pro X. After updating windows (Windows 10 version 1909 01) for ARM based Surface Pro X on 28th, January 2020, I start to experience a system failure (blue screen) frequently (almost once in 2 days).
I have deployed to 16 computers and 2 of them lost connectivity and to One Drive and could not re-connect. We had to uninstall and re-install the One Drive client.
I installed from WU on my current W10 Home desktop PC – it did not show as optional.
I did not install on my current W10 Home laptop PC – it does show as an optional WU.
After updating my pc doesn’t start properly. It’s screen blinking with blue
The Blue screen of death, sound cards, tpm chips malfunctioning after the install are popping up. Uninstall the update to get your pc functioning again.
Everything working fine here for w10 1909 after installed!

i need this , the search sucks so bad in my windows 10 .. i can’t click the box most of the time its like its grayed out. sometimes it works but only after a reboot which is inconvenient to say the least. i use a win8.1 box on the same desk for all my searching , its annoying. i’ll update with results ha.
installed update and it seems to have fixed it. i did just reboot but it actually lets me click in the search box quickly now so i have high hopes.
This is a preview not a patch Tuesday.
They regularly release bugfix pages after patch Tuesday that are not previews.
Yes they are patch D and will be part of Feb. patch Tuesday.
For me it was optional. It didn’t state anywhere it was a preview.
