Windows 10: No previous commands when entering in File Explorer

In Win10 file explorer, one used to get a dropdown of past searches while typing in the search box.In Win11, this does not work anymore. Web searches on this give you nothing but help with WEB SEARCHES. This is a FILE EXPLORER problem, NOT A WEB-SEARCH PROBLEM.SETTINGS offers very limited change options for FILE SEARCH. HOW IS THIS FIXED? DaleH, Ipswich, MA

Hi Leon,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I apologies for delay in reply. I will certainly help you with this.

I suggest you to unpin the File explorer from the task bar and re-pin the File Explorer and check If issue is resolved. If issue persist, I suggest you to follow the below given steps and check if it helps:



I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope this information helps. Please post back with the results, we will be glad to assist you further.
