None of the answers fixed it for me.

 

@J_L @ronjor

actually i did manage to change the default search provider but i can't remove the newly added one from the list. although there's an option for that, it just don't work.
will delve deep into the registry and see if i can come up with something.

 

To add, say Google as a search provider you need to first navigate to google.com, so I wonder if the same is true to remove the search provider?

 

@imdb,
I just successfully removed Google as my search provider. Which search provider is it you are trying to remove?

Well, it did disappear but I see it is back again. Hmm.

 

thanks for the heads-up.

 

exactly. it just can't be removed.
i guess ron is right. maybe we should wait and see if anything comes up from ms.

 

Unbelievably, this still happens: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/317gce/windows_10_search_bar_not_working/

 

These are the things Microsoft needs to improve in Windows 10 (by ghacks)

 

Latest Windows 10 Insider Build fixes Start Menu, Search and other issues (ghacks)

 

First issue I've had with W10 updates: Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3087040) - Error 0x80004005

Googled the error and KB, of course; kind of strange that the only results were posts in other languages (e.g., French and German).

 

Same issue here

 

Thanks for responding. At least we know it's most likely on "their end".

 

Fixed it with a manual download of the file. See: http://www.tenforums.com/windows-up...-error-0x80004005-kb3087040-3.html#post399724

 

Same thing happening here as well, from the posts on 10 forums it seems a lot of folk are having the same issue.

 

Thanks! That worked.

 

I have the laptop of my daughter next to me and there it installed automatically and on my laptop I got the error. Very strange and annoying, but solved it for me with the manual download mentioned on tenforums.
@prius04 glad it also worked for you.

 

I guess I should have Looked here first in stead of trying to re install the flash player every 15 minutes, can you see what version of flash player you have in EDGE?

 

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ with Edge shows: version 19,0,0,185

 

In Edge, you can go to this site --> https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-10-edge.html and click Test Flash Player. Then, if you right-click on the window immediately below, you should see About Adobe Flash Player followed by the version number (obviously, you need to have Flash enabled in Advance settings in Edge).

Edit: Of course, ronjor beat me to it! xD

 

What I meant was like Firefox, EDGE has no popup menu or any kind of menu

 

I tried the 3 dots twice before now the menu decides to work!
