Windows 10: Navigating search functions

When I right click in the quick access search bar of file explorer on my work pc it immediately gives me the option to copy and paste and then automatically looks up what I pasted. My home pc when right clicking pops up the resize pane, I have to first click into the box before I can right click to paste then I have to hit search. How to I change my home pc to act like my work PC. Both are running windows 10

3. Locate "Cortana" under background processes.
4. Right-click on the process and select "end task" from the context menu.
