Windows 10: "Type here to search" sometimes greys out when I click it.

I'm not sure what this bug is, but sometimes when I click the search bar, maybe 1 in every 10 times it'll grey out like in the picture. Clicking the windows icon or clicking the windows key fixes it, and it never happens when I click the windows icon to search. Is this something to do with cortana/bing search? I've heard that causes the search bars to bug out.

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?
