Windows 10: Recycle Bin on Windows 10

So I've had a Windows 10 laptop for a few years now. And this whole time, I've been able to type in "Recycle Bin" into the address bar in File Explorer and get to the Recycle Bin. But starting recently, when I type in "Recycle Bin" and press enter, it just searches the term "Recycle Bin" on Bing. Now if I want to get to the Recycle Bin, I have to type in "Recyle Bin". The second c is missing.


How did this happen? How can I change it back? Is it possible my computer infected with some sort of malware/ virus?
