Missing search tab - File Explorer (Windows 10 - 1909)

Anonymous

Hello,

I have installed the latest update of windows 10 (home and pro).

Windows 10 Pro - 1909 (v. 18363.476)

Now the "search" tab is no longer in the folders and I can't clear the search history either. Where is this tab?!

How's this one? The search tab is fine as long as I don't click in it. As soon as I do, it gets VERY tiny. **** Microsoft???

As soon as you type where?

I have nothing here, I can't type anything anywhere.

Am I missing something?

If you can't type into the Search box at the top right of the explorer window then it has crashed and you need to restart Explorer from Task Manager and then it will work again for a while!

1909 appears to have introduced several bugs (Thanks Microsoft! Would you please put the grown-ups back in charge now? Thanks!) including a really irritating blue screen of death every time I restart two of my computers

Thanks for the advice, but that does not work, the search tab still does not show up.

I agree, it's a bug - tab should show as soon as you click in it, but...

As soon as you type in it the tab pops in :-)
