I have arcgis 10.5 desktop on my windows 10 machine. I tried uninstalling arcgis 10.5 and python and reinstalling but the problem persists. Any ideas on how to fix?
That's not quite the problem. I can not even open the search window (either by clicking on the icon or going under windows>Search or the shortcut ctrl+F). I tried option b (since I can't get to the search options under option a) and still could not open the search window after renaming the catid folder.
Check Problem: The Search window in ArcMap does not return any results .
Are you facing the same issue?
Unchecking the background geoprocessing worked and now the program has stopped crashing. However, I still can not use the Search window in arcmap though it does open in arccatalog. When I click on the search window nothing happens.
If the solution steps provided by Rebecca doesn't work, you could disable background geoprocessing. Sometimes, it causes the issue as well.

Also I have seen a fresh install of Windows 10 gives fewer issues with ArcGIS than those upgraded from older versions.
Start with steps in this https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-2121?sr=search&searchId=cd6a211a-a246-4fe0-8698-e9e9f38eaf2d&searchIndex=0 It's amazing how those steps can fix many "now it crashes desktop" issues.
Windows 10 can have a few other quirks, but see if the above works first.
