WinKey then just start typing and you will see...

...nothing. Here anyway.

For me, on 7, 8.1, and 10, I can just start typing after WinKey or after
clicking the Start orb. The search box is automatically looking for text
input. No need to explicitly select it.


Clearly something puzzlingly different in my case.

That doesn't look like the native Win10 Start menu, does it? If you're
running something like Classic Shell, you'd probably have to look there
for a setting that restores the default search behavior.


Bingo, thanks a bunch. I'd forgotten about installing the Classic Menu
18 months or so ago.

I've found a setting that appears to give it focus immediately on using
Win key. Here's a screenshot in case anyone else has the problem.
