Windows Update 2004 - Search box and start menu open simultaneously

Question

I have updated my Windows machine to the newest version 2004 to get WSL 2. Everything is working fine except for one thing:

When I hit the windows button which is supposed to open the start menu, it opens BOTH the start menu AND the Search box.

I have searched high and low but couldn't find this error documented anywhere. 
Has anybody an idea how I can rectify this behaviour manually (like via registry or anything like that) or has somebody had the same error and found a solution.

Merci in advance

well, found the answer:

Bug caused by 'ImmersiveSearch' registry tweak which produces a floating search window which won't work anymore.
Do the following in Regedit:
Delete
"ImmersiveSearch"=dword:00000001
under
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSearch]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSearchFlightingOverride]
with entries
"ImmersiveSearchFull"=dword:00000001
"CenterScreenRoundedCornerRadius"=dword:00000009
