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

As said above, if only needed occasionally work around is type as little as a single character in the search box then hit enter and the Search Tab appears.

If looking or a more permanent solution then I guess follow the advice in the previous posts (uninstalling KB4517245).

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?!

I don't know if someone have resolved this issue or not. But i found a fix. As suggested by someone here that clicking on search bar in file explorer will bring back the search tab. But this doesn't work.

The search tab will only appear when you actually search for something in the search bar.

Hope this helps.

Re: query about consequences for uninstalled KB4517245

You hit the nail on its head my friend! 

Glad to inform that so far this "nail" doesn't hurt (uninstalling KB4517245)

At the time have asked the website tenforum (the source to this solution) the same question..

Couldn't understand the answer beside the  assurance

that it is OK to uninstall KB4517245 without bad consequences (It surely nullifies some functions..)

BTW have done this uninstall about 1/2Y ago. So far so good!

Only "side-effect" W10 had installed it back once or twice

Had uninstalled it again. Currently as i'm writing i have the "old" search-tool behavior

A.

Where can I find a list of what else changes if KB4517245 is uninstalled?

Re: Tenforums Solution (offered there by a guy named Bree)

For sake of simplification, have copied Bree's answer

Bree's answer below shows where to go in Windows 10 (e.g. Window-key>Control Panel> .. see below). Then simply  uninstall: KB4517245

Great to have "old"  search-tool the way we all like it!!

Be aware: Windows 10 may upload KB4517245 back from time to time 

Here is what Bree suggests:
