    Whenever I try to type in the search bar, it doesn't let me. Also, in the settings menu, a wierd black bracket that scrolls through clickable elements ( switches, sections, etc.) appears. It is also impossible to scroll down while in the settings menu and clicking things takes a billion clicks for it to work. The bracket also shows up in the menu when i right click apps.

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?


    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?
