    How to turn on instant search in file explorer? The most recent update removed it.


    It used to be that as soon as I started typing it would start searching, but now I have to press enter after typing out my full search. The instant search was way, way better.

    No Instant Search Result in File Explorer

    When searching in file explore search results are displayed right below the search bar in a list, but only when you hit Enter, the complete result is displayed.

    How do i restore it so i have Instant Search Results.

    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

    Cannot Remove File From File Explorers Recent Files List

    I'm using Windows 10 and have always been able to remove files from the file explorer's recent files list. The file is listed as FileProvider and it is located in the ThisPC/downloads directory. Any other file is readily deleted from the list by the usual
    procedure. This file is not. Any suggestions?

    THANKS
