We reset the Application Pool for the SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool  manually, No Luck

Checked the service app it was broken it had Search Service Application Proxy missing. (Some one deleted it accidently)

The same error can be reproduced if we delete the Search Service Application Proxy

We created a new Search Service Application and re-entered the password for SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool
