Windows Search and Cortana broken? Build 14332

Hi, whenever i click on the "ask me anything" or the microphone or even type into the startmenu, the search does not work at all. no error code, just does nothing. I have been on contact support 3 times. they couldnt fix it and they are unable to escalate it to tier 2 because i would have to pay or because i am on an insider build. Things I have tried:

1. A really long powershell command that i dont remember the exact one
2. Restart
3. Rolling back
4. Making a new user
5. Using commands through command prompt
6. a clean upgrade
7. Disable and uninstall anti virus

If somebody can fix the problem they would be a legend to me!

You may not like my suggestions :

1. Use this tutorial to convert the ESD file to an ISO.
ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File

2. Assuming your 14332 is activated....................
Use the iso file and do a Repair Install
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Repair Install will allow you to keep your files, settings and apps.
No product key is required.
Activation is automatic.

Tried both, no success.

Backup files you want to keep.
Do a Clean Install.

The powershell command below will fix everything (I had the same problem).

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
