Search shows apps history!

Hello AHMED, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I understand that you want to disable the list of recently used apps in the start menu;

Press Windows key + i and go to Personalization;

Click on Start menu;

Disable all options on this page;

To remove the search history do the following;

Press Windows key + i and go to Search;

Click on Permissions and history;

Scroll down to history, turn off Search history and click on clear device search history;

Hope this helps, see you soon!

 

IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

Any suggestions to fix this?
