Does Google search not work on your PC? You’re not alone. Many users deal with such bugs, whether it’s the results page not loading, the search bar not showing, not being able to click on search results, or search by voice issues.

In this guide, we’re going to show you what to do if Google Search is not working on PC, so be sure to keep on reading.

What can I do if Google search is not working on Windows 10?

1. Clean your registry editor

Relaunch Google Chrome and check if the error is resolved. Your computer can get infected with adware or malware while installing software from non-secure sources.

2. Use the Chrome cleaner

3. Check your home network

A stable connection is important for Google search to work. If Google won’t display search results, make sure the internet is working by performing a network restart. You can also use speed testing websites to check the network speed.

4. Disable Chrome extensions

If working, you may have an extension that is conflicting with the Google search function. To find the troubling extension, enable all the extensions one by one. Once found, remove the extension to resolve the issue.

5. Clear browser cache

6. Reinstall your browser (Chrome)

7. Scan for virus and malware

Malware and adware can hijack your system and modify the browser properties. If the issue persists, make sure to check your registry editor for any traces.
