safari does not store the web searching browse

Hi, Everyone, will need some help!


A lot of people is asking how to delete the web browse history, but I'm facing an opposite trouble...


Since half a day has been struggling with one issue, Safari does not store any web searching history, always delete everything when I restart Safari.


Maybe I changed some settings by chance while restoring “History.db” file (using Time Machine). I got the web browse history briefly back, but before I can note down all the websites I need, it's gone... Now I can't store any search history.


Will be grateful for any suggestions! Thanks indeed!


Kind Regards

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Quit Safari. Launch Safari holding the Shift key down and test.


Make sure you are not using Private Browsing.
