I have a OMEN by HP - 15-ce072tx which was upgraded to Windows 10 (Latest Update)
The issue I am having is that when it gets to the search, it types the symbol + repeatedly in the search box without anyone touching the keyboard.[edit]
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Ravi69, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Does this happen when you use other applications like Notepad or Word?
This could be an application=specific issue. You may also check on the search box of a different web browser (Google Chrome).
Check if the "+" key on the keyboard is pressed or damaged.
Check for any pending windows update on the computer.
Install updates using HP Support Assistant
- In the search box, type and open HP Support Assistant.
- Check for updates.
- If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
Note: If you do not have HP Support Assistant installed, Click here to download the same.
Restart the PC and check for the issue.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
