  1. File explorer search results in a dropdown window


    Hello,

    I am encountering problems with the file search feature after the latest update, from the update it changed the file search from showing me the results in picture form into a dropdown box by the search bar. (https://imgur.com/a/NpMSCB1 This is the dropdown box)

    Its causing a few problems for me and if anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated

    Edit: Bot told me to add a my latest update number so here it is:

    Feature update to Windows 10, version 1909
