    Search Provider


    How do I prevent Bing opening when I do a Win 10 search from the taskbar.

    I have been into Edge settings - advanced - address bar - change search engine

    But it does not allow Bing to be replaced with Chrome. Chrome is the default browser in Win 10 settings.

    Hi, this used to be one way to do that- but things have changed in 1903, 1909. So you can let us know if it works..
