2oldman is mostly right. I figured it out today. Altho, I've been using Google as my main search engine for years with no problems.
Somehow, maybe an update? The EDGE shortcut showed up on my laptop, so I deleted it. But, apparently, it stayed 'hidden'. When I clicked on Google, a window warning popped up and said, "Google is not your default, click here to make it your default.' So I clicked it, and apparently again, EDGE will not allow Google to be the default. And the messy and annoying interaction when Google tried to become the default created havoc with all my programs - nothing would type in any programs - MS Word, Google, even here on RvNet. PRogram or app will open, but it will not function.
Everything I tried, shutting off stuff, repairing stuff, etc - nothing worked until I opened Google once, did not click the 'make this your default' and it opened and everything was back to normal. Simple answer that eluded me for three days.
I deleted that 'warning', and Google and Programs / Apps all function correctly.
I imagine I'll find out eventually that some of what I shut off will come back to haunt me - altho, I don't remember every one at the moment. A lesson learned today, for sure. What an adventure!!
Thanks to all that tried to assist. :) M44 AND, a great 2022 to y'all ...
