I believe it's not really an integrated part of the Explorer shell anymore, but rather a separate process that gets launched every time you open the start menu.

- coffeeking 5y agoYes, there are separate processes, however a new instance is not started each time you open it - the same window is re-shown. Taskbar: explorer.exe Start menu: StartMenuExperienceHost.exe Searching: SearchApp.exe So, when you hit a key with the start menu focused, it closes the start menu and opens the search window (with the search text initialised with that key). Perhaps keystrokes are lost during the switch.
