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?!

    Is this seriously support for the most popular operational system in the world?

    I have a network with a lot of users and they have the problem as well.  When you click on the search box it does nothing.  There is no search tab.  All of the routine suggestions to fix Windows search problems does not fix this.  Clearly is a new bug.  Need to fix it asap!

    I am experiencing the same issue here also after installing the 1909 update.

    This is what I see when I click in the search box.  How can you break this and not know as it is all over the internet?
