How to Delete Bing Windows 10
If you’re using Windows 10 and want to remove Bing as your default search engine, there are several steps you can follow to do so. Bing is integrated into many aspects of Windows 10, including the Start menu, taskbar, and search functionality. However, if you prefer a different search engine, such as Google, you can easily switch to it by following these instructions.
Step 1: Open the Settings App
The first step in deleting Bing from Windows 10 is to open the Settings app. You can do this by clicking on the Start button, selecting “Settings,” and then clicking on “System.” Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + I on your keyboard to open the Settings app directly.
Step 2: Go to the Default Apps Section
Once you’re in the Settings app, navigate to the “Default apps” section. This can be found by scrolling down the left-hand menu until you see the “Default apps” option. Click on it to expand the section.
Step 3: Change the Default Search Engine
In the “Default apps” section, scroll down until you find the “Search engine” option. Click on it to open a list of available search engines. Select the search engine you prefer, such as Google, and it will become your default search engine.
Step 4: Modify the Start Menu and Taskbar Search
If you want to remove Bing from the Start menu and taskbar search, you’ll need to modify the settings for these features. To do this, go back to the “Default apps” section and click on “Web browser.” Select the web browser you use, such as Google Chrome, and it will become your default web browser.
Step 5: Remove Bing from the Windows Search
To remove Bing from the Windows search, go back to the “Default apps” section and click on “Search and indexing.” Here, you can change the search provider to your preferred search engine. To do this, click on “Change provider” and select the search engine you want to use.
Step 6: Restart Your Computer
After making these changes, it’s a good idea to restart your computer to ensure that the new settings take effect. Once your computer restarts, Bing should no longer be your default search engine, and you should see your preferred search engine in its place.
By following these steps, you can easily delete Bing from Windows 10 and switch to a different search engine that better suits your needs. Remember to save any important work before making these changes, as restarting your computer may close open applications.
