    Hello alfredo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community and I'll be glad to assist you today.

    The second image (InPrivate browsing Mode) search bar looks like the text is Highlighted.

    Does the highlight blue bar keep appearing even if you left-click other areas on the web page?

    If the Blue highlighted icon does not disappear on the InPrivate browsing mode, probably it could be a temporary glitch with the browser.

    1. Try restarting your browser and Windows device and see if it helps.
    2. Reset your Browser from Edge settings.

    a. click three horizontal lines on the top bar, and select settings.

    b. Select Reset settings.

    c. Select Restore settings to their default values.

    d. Restart your browser.

    1. If the issue persists, repair the Microsoft Edge browser.

    a. Go to Start, then select Settings and select Apps.

    b. In the installed apps section, find Microsoft Edge in the lists.

    c. Click it options, and select Modify.

    d. Click 'Yes' for the User account control screen, and select Repair.

    e. Once done, restart your PC and check if it the issue is resolved.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help you further.

    Best regards,

    Gunasekar N
