HP Notebook: Remove black search box that says - start typing to search for applications, files and settings

Remove the black search box that says start typing to search for applications, files, and settings

Can someone tell me please how to permanently delete this search field that keeps appearing in different applications that I use?

I have windows 10 on a HP laptop. Often when I'm working in an application and I move the cursor on the screen, this search box - start typing to search for applications, files, and settings - appears. I tried several times to turn it off, but I do not just because I can't seem to get rid of it.

I would like it removed permanently or turns off permanently so it is not continue to block my view of the application, that I'm trying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Found this.

Click on the Start button and select settings.

Then select devices.

Click on the mouse and touch pad and scroll down and select 'extra mouse Options '.

This will open a box that should have the information and the name of the type of touchpad has your computer.

Click on settings and then in the new box that opens, you should see a tab that says 'Tapping '.

Open this tab and you should see 'Three finger Tap' and 'four finger Tap.

Clear the check boxes, and then click 'apply '.

  • When you try to import photos, I get an error that says that the preview is not available for this file.

    When you try to import photos I get an error that says: Preview is not available for this file. Then when I try to download these files, a gray box returns for each photo with the name of the file, and this error message -Preview is not available for this file but no picture. The files are JPEG files. I use Lightroom CC help?

    Some additional information. I received these photos of my granddaughter of my son with Dropbox. I checked the files under properties and found that they were listed as "some blocked properties" so I checked the box to 'unlock' and click on apply. The blocked message went away. Then, I took the original photos out of the folder of file they were in. I went back to LR and made sure those grey boxes with the Preview is not available for this file was missing. Then I went to the new files with the status of unlock in a new folder and tried to import into LR... same thing happens again! UGH

    Hi rsobieski,

    Could you please copy the images of Dropbox in a new folder on the computer/pictures folder.

    Also, then try again to import images into Lightroom and also please check if you have read and write permissions on the images.

    Kind regards

    I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.

    Suggestions;

    1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.

    2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.

    You can do both of the above by following these steps...

    Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...

    1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
    If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.

    2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

    Hello

    Step 1:

    You can try to start in safe mode and check if the problem persists. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode then boot to the desktop in normal mode and check that the third-party program is causing the problem. To configure your computer to clean boot follow the link below.

  • I am trying to download zipped files that were sent to me. They download, but when I try to access it, I get a box that says "application not found". Can someone help me?

    I received files in zip format that I downloaded.  However, when I click on the file to open it, I get a box that says "application not found" and I am not able to access the files.

    Can someone help me understand what is happening and why I can't download files more

    Hi Barbara,

    1. is the specific issue confined to zip files?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    3. is there any software zip file that is installed on your computer?

    First of all, I suggest you try to access a different zip file and check if you are able to open. This will help us know if the problem is with the zip file special or the application.

    I suggest you do a right click on the particular file and select extract and check if you are able to access the particular file.

    See the following for more information Microsoft article.
