IE11 address bar suggestions

Go to Internet Options, click Autocomplete Settings in Content tab, tick "Suggesting URLs" box and click OK.

 

IE11 address bar suggestions


I prefer IE11 over edge but one thing I noticed is when I start typing an address or search term in the address bar I only get a list of some historical sites. There is no drop down showing any suggestions (which I see on my other Windows 7 machine). If I type a word and press enter the search does work as the results are all displayed in the main browser window. It's just the drop down suggestions as you type I am wondering about. Does the feature even work on Windows 10? I thought it would of been enabled by default - how does one enable this feature? I'm not bothered if it's Bing or google powered, would just like it to work.

cheers

IE11 - No Tabs, No Favorites Bar

My Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 has gone very strange.

• I have no Favorites Bar; I know how to toggle it on and off, but it will not come back
  • my Favorites are still there in the Favorites Menu bar tab (Menu Bar and Status Bar appears to be the
    only Bars I can turn on and off)
• I have only one Tab, and can't see any others - even thought they are there somewhere - as the Taskbar Icon preview shows.

Steps I have taken to fix this:

• restored Advanced Settings via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
• reset IE11 settings completely via Internet Options Advanced - and reboot
• removed IE11 completely via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot
• reinstall IE11 via CP, Programs and Features, Windows Features - and reboot

None of these steps made any difference.

I don't know what else to try.

Any ideas?
