Ok should be simple (but I can't easily test it as I don't have IE11 on this laptop.

Simply click on the gear icon located at the top right of the window. Then click on Safety and then click on InPrivate Browsing and de-activate it.

This web page gives more info.

OK, other browsers call it incognito browsing. Give me a while and I'll find an answer for you.

Googling the problem came up with InPrivate Browsing as being the cause - never heard of it before!

Because the Google drop-down search history which I found very useful doesn't work any more, and I no longer get suggestions for my searches.

And, why do you want to remove "In Private browsing" ?

Windows 7 (yes, still!) and IE 11

You're obviously our resident computer expert, Wobblybits!

Can you tell me how to cancel InPrivate Browsing which has somehow installed itsef somehow?

On your browser there will be a zoom option or you can use Ctrl + or Crtl - to change the zoom level, Ctrl 0 sets it back to 100%. The zoom can be handy if you want to see more detail or want to see the whole document.

Wobbly you're brilliant! CTRL 0 fixed it. Thank you so much smile

I'd send you a wine but you can't drink with all your painkillers so it'll have to be a brew instead. Hope the physio was helpful yesterday for you both

Or press Ctrl + 0 (that's zero) this will restore it to 100%

Check the zoom setting on you browser, it's probably set to less than 100%

Clicked onto GN this morning, on my laptop as usual, and it is only half the normal size. There's big empty gaps each side of the screen and everything is compressed into the middle. The type size is tiny. All other sites are normal size and I haven't been fiddling with settings or anything. If I click on the magnifier it goes as big as other magnified sites confused

Can anybody out there help please?
