Make Google Default Search in IE??

I was wondering if it had a different KB number in Windows 10? It is listed as a Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer in Windows 8.1.

Just realised after posting that the KB was for 8, have edited my post

at times multiple tabs are dangerous for me, I forget where I am posting

Been there done that. I'm a member of 7, 8, and 10 forums. First thing in the morning when I fire up my e-mail I could be in any and all forums answering threads. Then get mixed up as to which one I'm in and the OS in question.

I have the update installed---

I don't know what to tell you then. I had the above issue on two PC's running 8.1. Un installing that update cleared it so I could install Google and set it as my main search. Maybe a latter update fixes it? I'm currently not running Windows 10 so 8.1 is all I have to go by.

I thought the OP was using 8.1 ?
Maybe I was wrong ?

Windows 10 Forum, so I just assumed Windows 10. I see in his profile he lists Windows 8.1 so maybe you are right? Probably should have asked him.

Everything works right up to the part where you click "Add this search provider". Then nothing happens. Bing is the only Search Provider listed, and if you can't add another, you can't disable it or set another as default. This is in Windows 8.1 by the way, not Windows 10. It may also be an issue in 10, but for me it was in 8.1. I also notice, on that web page where you add search providers, it prompts to set IE as default. That also doesn't seem to work. No matter how many times I do it, I get prompted to do it again the next time I go to that web page.

I wonder if this is somehow restricted by region
I followed the instructions in the first post and added google from the gallery, it added it fine and made google the default

EDIT:Just to add, this is in 8.1 also
