    Cannot type in Windows Store, Search, or Settings


    I was trying to resolve issues with my computer running slow and disabled a few things using this guide.

    It worked in speeding things up but it seems it may have broken something in the process and is now preventing me from updating windows store apps, typing in windows store, typing in the start menu search bar, and typing in windows settings.

    :)

    Window Store

    Thank you for the update. We suggest resetting the Windows store and check if this will resolve your issue. To do that, follow the steps below:

    • Type Settings on Cortana search box then press
      Enter.
    • Click on Apps.
    • On the Search this list box, type in Store.
    • Click on Store then click on Advance options.
    • Click on Reset.

    Get back to us and give us an update.

    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?

    To turn off windows updates in windows 7 follow these steps:

    Click the start button, in the search box type in 'windows updates', click on 'windows update'
    in the search results list, in the left side of the windows update window click 'change settings'
    then in the option bar select 'Never check for updates'.
