MS Edge Not using capital letters?

My version of Microsoft Edge is not allowing me to use Capital Letters in the search box.

If I type in, all the letters come out as lower case.
Capital Lock lights up - but no capitals.

Tried Google - works OK
Microsoft search - works OK
Another Keyboard still fails (2 keyboards tried)
Laptop works fine.

Strangely, there is no longer a way to erase the Edge App and re-install Edge!

Before I spend days sorting this, has anyone else seen the problem?

I've just tried and Microsoft Edge is allowing me to use Capital Letters in the search box, whether I use Shift or Caps Lock.

Capital letters are OK on Edge here too. Maybe try a reset?

Re: MS Edge Not using capital letters?

But why do you need upper case in a search bar? The search engine will return the same results whether it's in upper, lower or a mixture of both cases.

Completed system restore - no change

Put Edge on the mobile phone - works fine.

So, the problem looks like it lives in the search engine! (a Setting?) on one of my machines.


Will, now, wait until total W10 reload time comes around.

As for, "why do I need it?"

A web address will be all lower case.

The title, of a Company, might be a part of the security.

Re: MS Edge Not using capital letters?

Has a reset of Edge's own settings been tried? (Settings > Reset settings)
