This issue has been identified as stemming from users disabling Internet search functionality in Windows Search.

'Microsoft believes that a small number of users may not receive search results when using Windows Desktop Search and may notice the SearchUI.exe task consuming high CPU when searching after installing Windows 10 update KB4512941. This problem only occurs on devices where the Internet search feature from Windows Desktop Search has been disabled.'

To resolve this issue, users must rely on Bing search settings within Windows Search or by overwriting Cortana's old data directory.

With update KB4515384, users simply need to install and fix issues while still disabling Internet search functionality.

However, it should be noted that this update may still cause unforeseen issues; therefore, if you want to update Windows 10, be prepared to face them! Above all, Cortana is an extremely useful tool nowadays, and if used effectively, it will save you a lot of time.

Another notable information is that iOS 13, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 will be simultaneously launched on September 19, 2019 coming soon. According to Apple, the company will release iOS 13, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 on September 19, but it's not until September 30 that iPadOS will be released, and macOS Catalina is predicted to be released in October this year.
