Windows 10: Google search bar virtual keyboard not working

Hello, i have a problem with the virtual keyboard located in the google search bar . Whenever i log in on my google account, the virtual keyboard stops working , apart from the Ctrol+Alt buttons. However the same keyboard is alalso in the youtube searchbar but it seems to be working fine , does anybody have a solution to the problem i use chrome but edge seems to have the same problem.I use windows 10

:)

 

On-screen keyboard disappears after first keystroke in Google search

In my brand new HP 2-in1 laptop, when using it as a tablet, the virtual keyboard disappears in Google Chrome when typing the first letter in the Google search text slot in the middle of the page. The focus moves into the address bar at the top, and I have
to tap it to get the virtual keyboard back. If the search bar contains a search suggestion from earlier searches, I need to remove the text string first - very inconvenient!

This is clearly a bug, and it seems to have been a problem for many in the past.

 

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?

 

Two steps to get to Google search bar with favourites, rather than one

Running Windows 10.
Not familiar with terminology but since having a bug cleared from computer, now when I click the Google Chrome icon on bottom task bar it takes me to google.com.au Then I have to click the + icon at the top to take me to New Tab with blank google search bar at top and the middle with my favourites listed across the top and in the middle.
In other words two steps instead of one.

I can't figure out how to get to what I had originally with all my favourites listed at first click.

Can someone help me please.
Thanks
