Search bar stops being active after a small amount of keystrokes

Hey guys
Not sure if this is the correct subreddit but I really need help. So i was using microsoft edge to watch GOT. There was a problem with the play bar not disappearing, but afterwards i discovered an even worse problem. After typing a key in the windows search bar I couldn't type anything else because it highlights the first app to come up. Not sure if these problems are related but it is super annoying and can't find anything anywhere to help. If you guys know of a fix please help!
