  1. Cannot navigate in search window.


    If you opened search and typed the name of any program say "Word" you could press the [right arrow] key to access the open command and the recent files that appeared there. But for some reason this is not working for me for about a hour or so. Any help is appreciated.

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Cannot navigate in search window.

    Windows10 File Explorer automatically search not navigating.

    Thanks for the update, Dean. Here's what we can suggest you to do. Follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key on your keyboard, and then type regedit
      then right-click and then Run as Administrator.
    • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search (change value data as
      1).
    • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE >Microsoft >Windows > CurrentVersion >Search.
    • Change the BingSearchEnabled value from 1 to
      0. Make sure all of the Cortana flags
      are set to 0 instead of 1.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully.
    For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to hack up and restore the registry, refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
