    Search box not shown


    I have been having problems in which I do not have the option to switch to search box in my Lenovo laptop. I used to have the option to do this but after I just opened my computer this morning, I found that my search box have been switch to search icon and when I tried to switch it to search box then I do not have the option to switch it back, like I don't see the option to turn it back on. My laptop also looked really weird starting from now on. The icons on file explorer and taskbar just got bigger and I don't know why. Can someone please help me with this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!
