Windows 10: No access to settings or search engine.

Hi,


I have been having an issue with Windows 10 I believe its 64 bit. I have an issue where i try to access the search engine in the start menu and does not respond. I have the same issue with going into my settings. This is a personal home computer. Any insight would be helpful. Is there anything i can check or run to fix this issue?


Thank you in advance

Cannot Change Default Search Engine tyo Google in Microsoft Edge

Hi,

When I am trying to change my default search engine for my Microsoft edge browser in advanced settings I am neither able to type anything or select anything and add is disabled as well can anybody suggest how to fix this please. as per the notes mentioned
for changing the default browser engine, the second step mentioned here below I am not able to perform as there is nothing enabled to either select or type the engine's website.

• Select More actions (...) > Settings and then scroll down to select
  View advanced settings. In the list under Search in the address bar with, select
  Change.

  Set as default button will be grayed out.

Please suggest.
