Since the last update of Edge, I've had a problem. Whenever a search bar appears on any web site, a word or number automatically pops in. I've cleared cache, cookies and disabled all plugins but it still happens. Even when I use In Private browsing. Even went and reset edge to no avail. TIA!

    Suggestions:

    1.Reset Edge settings.

    2.Clear browsing data.

    3.Create a new profile and see if the issue occurs there.

    4.Microsoft Edge has an Autofill feature that might be pre-populating the search bars. Try turning it off:

    • Open Edge and go to Settings (three dots menu) > Privacy, search, and services.
    • Under "Autofill," disable the options you don't want Edge to remember, like "Search forms."
