Missing search tab - File Explorer (Windows 10 - 1909)

Question

Hello,

I have installed the latest update of windows 10 (home and pro).

Windows 10 Pro - 1909 (v. 18363.476)

Now the "search" tab is no longer in the folders and I can't clear the search history either. Where is this tab?!

You can see in Yaek.m's screenshot he is actually clicking in the search box and it isn't showing. I have same problem too.

Answer 5

I am experiencing the same issue here also after installing the 1909 update.

This is what I see when I click in the search box.  How can you break this and not know as it is all over the internet?
