Windows 10: file name selection dropdown

i know this isnt hyper specific but im having trouble with a file selection related issue

its hard to put into words but its something like this


i would be on discord uploading a file i would type in this box the first couple letters of a file name and it would pop up with the files that had that part of what i typed in it.

it doesnt do that anymore and this has disrupted my sense of normalcy and i just wanna know how to fix it.

sorry if this sounds super confusing i had no idea how i would type this.

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.

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.

 

How to disable the new circular attribute of Win10 IE11 dropdown select list?

IE must be used due to its ability to handle ActiveX controls from Realterm.

Several dropdown lists are necessary.

Apparently, a recently installed Win10 / IE11 update has changed my dropdown select lists into circular wraparound lists.

I need to disable the circular wraparound attribute for select lists (in IE11, and in all other browsers that might begin behaving similarly).

Is there something like a "circular: none" or "wraparound: none" that can be applied to the select element in CSS so that:

a) the initial list display only occupies a portion of 1 single line,

b) clicking on that 1 single item in the list will popup the dropdown list,

c) the 1st item in the list is always at the top, even though it may not be visible (due to disappearing off the top of the IE11 default-sized fixed scrolling region) while scrolling to later members of the list,

d) the last item in the list is always at the bottom, even though it may not be visible (due to disappearing off the bottom of the IE11 default-sized fixed scrolling region) while scrolling to earlier members of the list,

e) the 1st item in the list absolutely never appears at the bottom of the popup dropdown list, and

f) the last item in the list absolutely never appears at the top of the popup dropdown list?

Or is there another simple, preferably non-Javascript way to accomplish this goal.

Basically, I want to preserve the old style of dropdown lists from WinXP IE8 and Win7 IE11 (and, IIRC, even Win10 IE11 up until a few weeks/months ago), though I'm willing to lose the scroll bar on the righthand size. That scrollbar is not a biggy for me
to retain.

 

How do I clean out File;Properties;Details;Tags dropdown lists

I have over the last year or so populated this dropdown with many entries that I now want to remove. I see how to do it file by file (thanks to your tutorials) but would like to reset/clear out these dropdown lists to start again.
Many thanks
