Key notes
Microsoft has successfully replacedInternet Explorerwith the Edge Browser, which debuted withWindows 10. The browser has been subjected to a timely makeover and feature update.
However, a recent update to the Edge Browser seems to be exhibiting some peculiar problems.
One common problem to the users was about the search and website suggestions not being displayed inEdge’s address bar.
This is pretty annoying considering that you have already bookmarked the website and have to type it all over again.
If you are suffering from a similar problem on Windows 10, then let us have a look at the possible solution to the problem so you can again start using the EdgeBrowserwithout any glitches.
Windows update usually updates different files to their newer versions which are the most secure, and at times these files interrupt the working of the browser.
Let us try to troubleshoot the same with a host of different methods, which are as follows.
How can I get back website suggestions in Edge?
1. Try out a different browser
Issues with subpar Microsoft Edge might be resolved by the introduction ofEdge Chromium.
However, considering how long it took Microsoft to deal with the simplest of UI and performance optimization, we’re not really keen to believe it’ll be worth it at all.
Instead ofEdge, why don’t you try a browser which is already great and tends to be even better?
Opera Browser brings all you need from the get-go. Even though you can install all Chrome extensions, it comes with so many built-in features so there’s really no particular need to do so.
It will help you avoid tracking and ad-targeting, it comes with a built-inVPNand ad-blocker, not to mention that it’s wrapped up in an intuitive UI design.

2. Run the Windows Apps Troubleshooter
3. Run SFC Scan
4. Run DISM Tool
If DISM failed on Windows 10, thisquick guidewill help you out.
5. Clean Boot
Clean Boot is somewhat similar to the Safe Mode which just loads a definite number of drivers and programs which are essential to make the windows work without any problem.
This is expected to solve all types of software conflict if by any chance you would be suffering from one. Learn how to perform a Clean Boot here.
These are a few steps that you must perform to get rid of the search bar and website issue you were facing with the Edge browser.
These types of problems might be most likely to occur due to updates or clashes with other software installations.
That apart, the Microsoft Edge browser has improved by miles since it first came out, and users seem to love the slick user interface offered by the browser.
