How do I get rid of this bar on my laptop?
What exactly are we talking about?
The search bar up there
From the top bar on the desktop, an extension seems to be some program that permanently displays a search bar
Have you installed anything recently (programs etc?)
No not really
Take a look in the settings for apps / programs to see if there's anything that doesn't belong there, any program that you have not installed / used… But make sure that you do not uninstall any Windows services. Could cause problems
is the only thing I can imagine that you (without intent) installed something or installed something
I just made an app that thought it had to show it now.
You could also run this over here: https://de.malwarebytes.com/...dwcleaner/
is a well-known, trustworthy tool that detects and removes malware or AdWare… It may also find this "bar"
As I said it is now back to normal but I'll stop by.
Question has been clarified, but thank you!
Ok then that's fine.
By uninstalling the associated toolbar / malware…
