I have what may be a related problem. I updated this morning and now whenever I attempt to enter something in a search box the system locks up. No keyboard or mouse inputs allowed. I rebooted into recovery mode, uninstalled plymouth, and now everything is working again.
Note: I use autologon so I did not have to enter anything to get to the Desktop.
