How to re-enable address bar in Edge  

Version 1903 OS Build 18362.533

Since yesterday I have been unable to type in the address bar or the Bing Search box. I can't even use copy/paste to get something in it. I found various suggestions of which I am using the link How to Reinstall Microsoft Edge Browser in Windows 10
That is a complete remove and install Edge process which I will try if there is nothing simpler I find.

I have tried CC cleanup and checked with MalwareBytes - no problems there. I will try the SFC via ImageHealth.
I also tried looking at the MS.Edge.etc task scheduler situation but MsCtfMonitor is already enabled.

I suspect that Google is at the heart of the problem as yesterday my wife asked me to try and modify her Gmail account and I got a validation email from there (my private email address is the backup contact) and everything went haywire after I tried their procedure using Edge!

I am writing this as Firefox still works! By the way, Word, Notepad, Email client etc don't have any problem so it can't be a keyboard fault.

Well, one of those procedures eventually worked! I am using Edge browser to write this
I added deleting my wife's Google account using her own PC, stopping, cleaning and restarting update services, and, just because I could, troubleshooting video and keyboard.

So whatever was causing the fault, it seems to have fixed it. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

That's fortunate. Please mark as solved to save people reading. Thanks!
