I've had a few people tell me that they cannot see Google as a list of Search Engines to add. Firstly, if your PC is a work one and part of a corporate domain, you may find it's restricted by Group Policy and there's little you can do apart from beg your Admin to change it. If however it's your own personal PC, try this... Click "Manage search engines" Click "Add" In the Search Engine Field, type: Google In the Shortcut field, type: google.com In the URL with %s in place of query field, paste the following: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchboxStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:iOSSearchLanguage}{google:prefetchSource}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:contextualSearchVersion}ie={inputEncoding} Click Save. There's an icon to the right of your new Google entry with 3 dots ... click that and choose "Make Default". However Google should now appear in the drop-down list for you to select.
For the Microsoft Edge > Bing logo at the top right. Which you used Registry edits for. You no longer have to do that. It's in the Edge Settings now. I did it this morning. (Sidebar tab) I think. For others, the more you know NOW!
You have no idea how grateful I am for this video. I hate Bing with all my heart mostly because is forced upon us, very annoying. The more they want to force us to do something, the less we will do it, don't they know that in Microsoft? They probably need new or old psychology... the old saying, "you attract more with honey...'" something like that. THANK YOU again, I did exactly as you instructed and have the great result of not having "Bing" anywhere in sight.
Seriously, you just saved my laptop. Everytime I opened it and saw "the blue search engine icon that shall not be named", I would be overcome with rage and want to take a hammer to the blue b icon. Thank you!!!
I echo the following sentiment from below!! "You have no idea how grateful I am for this video. I hate Bing with all my heart mostly because is forced upon us, very annoying."
I can't even pinpoint why Bing ignites such a rage within me, but it certainly does. I could hardly focus after my update until I found this video lol, thanks so much for the help!
I've been having trouble with Bing messing up my computer life, which in turn messes up my life in general, so your tutorial couldn't have shown up at a better time! Thank you for this complete, concise way of ridding my computer of Bing!
I'm an old lady and lost touch with the tech of the computers when it got so complicated. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for being empowered by you to clean some unwanted trash off my laptop! Yaaay.
One day all tech videos will be as amazing as this one. I bought a new laptop for my 80-year old mother and Windows 11 with its Edge and Bing nonsense almost had me throwing the machine out of a window. Shame on you Microsoft for making these changes so damn difficult for the average user.
@@TLTechLife I do have a follow-up question, though. If I want my PC to keep all the tabs open I used before (Browser: Firefox; Search Engine: DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials) after restarting -- what do I need to pay attention to or rather what are my settings? Sorry for being so oddly specific, but I may have made a small mistake while removing CoPilot (it's removed permanently thanks to another of your videos) and I started Firefox with one tab (vs. 40+ before). 😥
Thank you. I really appreciate that feedback and am glad you found the video valuable. You’ve made my day and in return I hope you have a fantastic day!
Thank you for this video. Very understandable and complete directions. Worked perfectly for me. I've hated Bing forever, and luckily never had it shoved down my throat until Windows 11. This is a game changer. Blessings!
You are most welcome. I’m glad it helped you it. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to share your feedback, I appreciate that. Have a great day!
Thank you so much for this. Bing drives me insane. Windows should come completely open to allow you to pick which browser, search engine etc each individual wants, not force bing down our throats. Seems Windows is becoming a company of dictatorship. So glad you did this video. All traces of Bing are, thankfully, gone from my system. 🙏
You are absolutely wonderful! Video was precise and to the point. I bought an HP and didn't realize Bing was going to be such an issue. It really does blow up at you! Thank you so much for your hard work creating this video!
Wow! Just Wow!! It was a task, but by hitting pause at each step, you made it so easy to go through the process in the other browser. I cannot thank you enough for ridding me of that annoying, unwanted inclusion in my new laptop. You have made my day!!
And you made my day with your positive feedback. I’m so glad the video helped you. Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. Enjoy your day!
@@TLTechLife Yikes, I turned my computer back on and the search bar at the bottom opens with Edge that damned Bing again! What did I do wrong? Everything I check in settings says Google is my default, yet there it is - I absolutely hate BING! I want every aspect of it gone.
No one could be happier to remove Bing from Windows 11 than me! Thank you TL Tech Life! This is a no nonsense, straightforward, easy video to follow. Thanks again!
My absolute pleasure my friend. Glad I could help out. Thanks for watching and taking time out of your day to comment. I appreciate that, I really do. Thank you. Have a magic day!
You are an absolute legend !!! I've just upgraded to a new Windows 11 PC from Windows 7 and I hate it beyond belief. If I could easily get Google drive working from Linux Ubuntu, I'd just dump Windows. But you my friend have made life a lot more bearable !!
Hey Neil, thanks for taking time out of your day to post such positive feedback, I really appreciate it. I’m so glad it helped you out. Have a fantastic day mate!
This is a great video and helped me out tremendously. The only thing that was an issue for me was I had to stop and back up the video many many times. Most people can't follow instructions as fast as you can talk so your content is wonderful but just please slow down and give everybody a chance to follow your instructions.
Thank you for watching and your detailed feedback. It’s hard to get a balance of speed vs time. I understand it can be difficult to follow along and it’s likely no matter how slow I go that people can follow along when there is a lot to go through without pausing. That said I take your feedback on board and will try to do better to accommodate everyone. Glad you liked the video otherwise. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Have a great day!
Boom, Bro Did It! So righteous. When I did my last Windows upgrade, booted back up and was thrown into: Navigation Hell. Gates was hiding in the bushes of the Win 11 Upgrades Complex and lobbed a digital “Bing” flash bomb into the servers room. We got 'em for now! Thanks.
I finally successfully removed Bing but I wanted everyone to know that (apparently) the Windows 11 on my computer in the U.S. didn't mirror the file (drop-down) organization in your video, which I assume was bought in the U.K. I found your strategy spot-on but I had to search around to find the exact settings I needed to change. My 5 year old machine hasn't been this spry in ages -- thank you!
Thank you so much. My Dad's machine autoupdated to 11, and I've been trying to get it back to something close to normal (without idiotic pre-copilot and bing), and your vids helped by far the most.
THANK YOU!! Amazing tech video! Setting up a new computer and i have to spend forever just trying to kill Bing - so maddening. Thank you for simplifying the process!!
Friggin Awesome! Gotta love it when you come across an IT nerd (don't be offended, this is a compliment) who not only knows his stuff, but is able to give great succinct instruction to us common users. Oh, and also being an Aussie... geez really impressed... I expected a completely different accent - thanks Mate! :)
You’re welcome mate! Yes I’m an IT Nerd, I’ll take the compliment. Thanks for your lovely message, I really appreciate it and I’m glad the video helped you out! Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch the channel. Have a great day!
Thank you so much for this understandable instruction on removing Bing. I was able to stop the video, perform the step and go right back to the video for the next move. Excellent!
Normally tutorials are always different from what I have on my laptop but this literally worked every step of the process! Thanks! Bing is the worst. It is still using Bing though in the taskbar search...... `sighs`...
blogs.umass.edu/Techbytes/2017/10/27/use-windows-10-taskbar-for-google-search/ Try this for a chrome extension that apparently reroutes to Google. I haven't tried it but it may be worth a look.
Thank you sir. You’re amazing. BING was like a freaking plaque that wouldn’t budge with making Google my default search engine, I needed something in depth, thanks to you!
Im actually studying for CompTIA core 2 right now. I really needed bing out of the way of the search bar as I'm actually using it to find programs in the actual computer. I had already removed Safeboot and installed Google as my default. I can't wait to show everyone in class your video!
That’s awesome. I’m so happy for you’re studying. I’ll do you one better if you want, video chat me and I’ll talk to the class. Be safe, have fun and learn lots. Much love and thanks for watching.
Very very well done!! Despite my being major noob ability settings spring loaded to 0, you done the near impossible and have allowed me to drop mind numbing bing irritant! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the hard work of cutting through all the clutter that's out there which doesn't achieve the objective which your concise video does. I was beginning to think that Bing was inextricable from my computer. I had already deleted it from my basic settings and placed google in its place, yet it "still" kept showing up (whether I liked it or not). Now you've broken through microsoft's dictatorship and showed us how to extract Bing permanently. Thanks a many millions.
TYSVM! Your instruction were so clear and simply to follow. You're a great teacher and I learned so much from you. TY for taking the time to make this Remove Bing video as everything I tried didn't work. You're a magician!
Thank you so much I hate all these random pops up in windows 11 and just wanted it all gone. Took some digging to eventually come across this video, easy and quick.
Omg this was the best video ever. Thank you so much!! I was struggling to get rid of Bing. I hate it with a passion. I seriously got on my computer one day and couldn't get rid of it, and I was going crazy! This was such a great video. Thanks for all your help!! 🎉
Thank You for the video. Bing made my computer feel like it was possessed by the worst of the internet. Thank for helping me exorcising Bing from my system :)
Sure does and thank you for watching and commenting. I go one step further in my new video on how to also get rid of copilot and some additional stuff. That might be a good next step. I appt you taking the time to comment, thanks so much. Have a great day.
You are brilliant and if this works for me, I'm ready to call you the Greatest Video Producer on UA-cam!!! Yes, this process is elaborate, but let's give it all a try. I wish there was some downloadable batch file that could handle all this.
Hopefully it did work for you. I do have a newer video that also includes Copilot removal so that one is now more up to date with recent Windows changes. Any issues, try that one. Thanks for watching and your terrific feedback.
hi there, your video was great and easy to follow. i still can't get rid of the bing icon on the right of the search box though, in spite of everything else working as you said it should. do you have any additional tips for removal of stubborn bing icons in the search box? many thanks
Thank you so much for this! Have tried numerous different suggested solutions but have often stumbled because the procedure didn't match the dialogue or what I see on screen due to slightly different versions of windows/edge/bing/whatever. This one worked perfectly and matched every step of the way.
thank you for this video. i hate anything imposed or forced on us. i am someone who is slow in regard to tech. i have written out your comments, that is most of them. Will have to listen again @ a slower speed and then work on endeavor to remove BING.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and subscribing. I really appreciate both. Well continue watching and you’ll have all my knowledge 😊. But seriously if you have any particular area you are stuck don’t hesitate to let me know and I’ll see if I can potentially make a video about it. Often I find if one person has an issue, many more do also. Have a great day!
You’re awesome too! Thank you for watching, so happy to have helped and I’m glad it worked for you. Thanks for sharing such positive feedback. Have a terrific day!
THANK YOU! So glad I found this video. When I first Googled solutions it came up that I could have a virus. Now I know it's because of Windows 11. Virus didn't make sense as I have software and it said everything was good.
This was very helpful, thank you! I did notice it still shows the Bing icon in the top right corner of the pop-up window from the Search box; is there no way to disable this as well? Just wondering.
Thank you for helping me avoid the Chandler BING! nonsense!!!!! I like using the Firefox browser. I will use the Edge browser for now until I can figure out how to enable Bing in Firefox. Is the disenabling procedure similar to the Edge disenabling?
You. Are. Amazing! I've been trying to get Bing off my start menu since I got this computer a few months ago. Although, if I just used Linux like usual I wouldn't have these problems...
Thank you so much! It took me a couple of tries to succeed because I didn't create a new "Edge" key under Policy ---> Microsoft, but I realized my mistake eventually. ;) Thank you again!!
Thanks a bunch man! That was something. I hope this will stop all the annoying Bing pop-ups in Chrome. And now they replaced the Bing icon by a Copilot icon...
Thank you soo much!, After working with Microsoft products professionally for over 25 years, i still hate Edge and Bing. Installing Windows 11 on to a new disk, getting rid of Edge browser and Bing is a pain in the ass!
Thank you! I hated the Bing search! It took over everything! I'm not a techy by any means but I was able to follow your instructions or at least figure them out. Now, do you have a video to get the Bing Chat bubble off? :)
My pleasure. I actually have a newer version which also covers removing copilot as well. It’s the latest video I’ve released, so it could be worth checking that one out as windows has slightly changed in recent patches. Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback. Have a great day mate!
Absolutely brilliant Sir. That's exactly what I was looking for to get rid of this BING from task bar & to anywhere it naggingly embarked on . You simply walked me through your tutorial which helped me immensely to wash my hands off Bing> Thanks a lot Sir. Stay well. Awaiting for more such tutorials and subscribed to your channel already.
I’m so happy it worked for you. Thank you for your lovely message and welcome to the channel. It means a lot to me that you took the time to write such a positive message. Have a wonderful day. And no need to call me sir, I’m Tim. It’s been a pleasure.
THIS bullshit is EXACTLY why ive been a Mac user since the beginning of Apple Macintosh, the Mac SE. Im 57 now and just bought my first pc and cant begin to explain how idiotic im finding the Windows os. Its un fucking real, what i just watched only to remove bing. Un. Fucking. Real. Thank you so much for posting this video!!🙏🙏🙏
thanks alot man, ive been searching for something like this for quite some days, but videos i watched said to download some apps to do that. i was skeptical so i didnt do it. Your method was super useful thanks
I've had a few people tell me that they cannot see Google as a list of Search Engines to add. Firstly, if your PC is a work one and part of a corporate domain, you may find it's restricted by Group Policy and there's little you can do apart from beg your Admin to change it. If however it's your own personal PC, try this...
Click "Manage search engines"
Click "Add"
In the Search Engine Field, type:
Google
In the Shortcut field, type:
google.com
In the URL with %s in place of query field, paste the following:
{google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchboxStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:iOSSearchLanguage}{google:prefetchSource}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:contextualSearchVersion}ie={inputEncoding}
Click Save. There's an icon to the right of your new Google entry with 3 dots ... click that and choose "Make Default".
However Google should now appear in the drop-down list for you to select.
For the Microsoft Edge > Bing logo at the top right.
Which you used Registry edits for.
You no longer have to do that. It's in the Edge Settings now.
I did it this morning. (Sidebar tab) I think.
For others, the more you know NOW!
I have always used Mazilla Firefox personally
I had this issue and used the url that you shared. Worked like magic! Thank you heaps!

Doesn't work for me, can't get rid of it.

I wish I could entirely disable the Edge 'New Tab' too.
You can, if you watch my newest video that covers copilot. That will make you even happier 😊

Excellent - thank you so much. I had tried a number of claimed solutions that just didn't work. Eternally grateful to you🕊
My pleasure, if you check my channel I’ve updated this video to include copilot as well. Glad it helped you. Have a fantastic day!
@@TLTechLife I uninstalled Copilot when I got rid of Windows bloatware🕊
Thanks TL Tech Life for the instructions on how to get rid of Bing. Feels like life is a bit easier now without this unnecessary application.
Sure does and thank you for watching and commenting. I go one step further in my new video on how to also get rid of copilot and some additional stuff. That might be a good next step. I appt you taking the time to comment, thanks so much. Have a great day.
Great presentation style at just the right speed - Perfect instructions. This short clip has saved hours of wasted time. Thank You!
Thank you for the great feedback Jeremy, I really appreciate it. Glad to have helped, have a great day!
You are brilliant and if this works for me, I'm ready to call you the Greatest Video Producer on UA-cam!!! Yes, this process is elaborate, but let's give it all a try. I wish there was some downloadable batch file that could handle all this.
Hopefully it did work for you. I do have a newer video that also includes Copilot removal so that one is now more up to date with recent Windows changes. Any issues, try that one. Thanks for watching and your terrific feedback.
hi there, your video was great and easy to follow. i still can't get rid of the bing icon on the right of the search box though, in spite of everything else working as you said it should. do you have any additional tips for removal of stubborn bing icons in the search box? many thanks
Same issue here
and me😞
@@Zeb1432 the same thing occurred to me where on the policies part there's still "ExtensionInstallAllowlist" "ExtensionInstallForcelist
Loved the step by step instructions, it worked effortlessly! Thanks so very much 😁
My pleasure. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate that.
Thank you so much! I have been struggling on how to get rid of that annoyingly persistant Bing for a while.
You're very welcome!
Good video man, I don't mind Bing, but hate it on my start menu. Thanks.
I had to stop it 50 times to keep up but it worked!!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for this! Have tried numerous different suggested solutions but have often stumbled because the procedure didn't match the dialogue or what I see on screen due to slightly different versions of windows/edge/bing/whatever. This one worked perfectly and matched every step of the way.
Glad to have helped. Have a great day and thanks for your feedback, very much appreciated.
Great video. Easy to follow, step by step, for non computer people (like me).
My pleasure Alison. Glad you liked the video and thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a fantastic day!
THANK YOU!!!! I hate being forced to use a program against my will! This was very well explained :)
You’re welcome. Glad to have helped!
thank you for this video. i hate anything imposed or forced on us. i am someone who is slow in regard to tech. i have written out your comments, that is most of them. Will have to listen again @ a slower speed and then work on endeavor to remove BING.
Great job mate. For people looking for a solution check before the new version of this video (link in the video description).
Thank you. And yes the updated version of this video includes a solution on getting rid of copilot too. Have a great day!
DUDE! I've never done anything like this before. Great tutorial. Got it done!
So happy it worked for you! Thank you so much for the feedback. I appreciate it so much. Have a fabulous day!
Subscribed and recommended! I wish I had 1/10th of your knowledge of software. Thank you for helping me rid the world of one more evil 🙂
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and subscribing. I really appreciate both. Well continue watching and you’ll have all my knowledge 😊. But seriously if you have any particular area you are stuck don’t hesitate to let me know and I’ll see if I can potentially make a video about it. Often I find if one person has an issue, many more do also. Have a great day!
Thanks sooo much! I didn't think it was possible, especially b/c I'm not tech savvy. But it worked!!! You're awesome!!! =)
You’re awesome too! Thank you for watching, so happy to have helped and I’m glad it worked for you. Thanks for sharing such positive feedback. Have a terrific day!
THANK YOU! So glad I found this video. When I first Googled solutions it came up that I could have a virus. Now I know it's because of Windows 11. Virus didn't make sense as I have software and it said everything was good.
Thank you!! Bing has been sending me bonkers for so long and now it is gone.... yay! :)
An absolute pleasure. Glad to have helped.
This was very helpful, thank you! I did notice it still shows the Bing icon in the top right corner of the pop-up window from the Search box; is there no way to disable this as well? Just wondering.
Thank you for helping me avoid the Chandler BING! nonsense!!!!!
I like using the Firefox browser. I will use the Edge browser for now until I can figure out how to enable Bing in Firefox. Is the disenabling procedure similar to the Edge disenabling?
Thanks so much! Those news post are horrible for vets with PTSD so it is great to get rid of them.
Hey you’re so very welcome. Glad to help out. Have a great day!
You. Are. Amazing! I've been trying to get Bing off my start menu since I got this computer a few months ago. Although, if I just used Linux like usual I wouldn't have these problems...
My pleasure my friend. Thanks for stopping by and sharing those positive comments. I appreciate it, I really do. Have a magic day!
Thank you so much!
It took me a couple of tries to succeed because I didn't create a new "Edge" key under Policy ---> Microsoft, but I realized my mistake eventually. ;)
Thank you again!!
You’re welcome. Glad to have helped!
Thanks a bunch man! That was something. I hope this will stop all the annoying Bing pop-ups in Chrome. And now they replaced the Bing icon by a Copilot icon...
They did but I do have a video on how to get rid of that too.
Thank you soo much!,
After working with Microsoft products professionally for over 25 years, i still hate Edge and Bing.
Installing Windows 11 on to a new disk, getting rid of Edge browser and Bing is a pain in the ass!
Thank you! I hated the Bing search! It took over everything! I'm not a techy by any means but I was able to follow your instructions or at least figure them out. Now, do you have a video to get the Bing Chat bubble off? :)
This was pefect step by step instructions! Bing is GONE! Thank you so much!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Mate this is very helpful. I will surely use this the next time I set up Windows, which is always in a VM :D
My pleasure. I actually have a newer version which also covers removing copilot as well. It’s the latest video I’ve released, so it could be worth checking that one out as windows has slightly changed in recent patches. Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback. Have a great day mate!
@@TLTechLife yep I just watched it, was very helpful.
Absolutely brilliant Sir. That's exactly what I was looking for to get rid of this BING from task bar & to anywhere it naggingly embarked on . You simply walked me through your tutorial which helped me immensely to wash my hands off Bing> Thanks a lot Sir. Stay well. Awaiting for more such tutorials and subscribed to your channel already.
I’m so happy it worked for you. Thank you for your lovely message and welcome to the channel. It means a lot to me that you took the time to write such a positive message. Have a wonderful day. And no need to call me sir, I’m Tim. It’s been a pleasure.
@@TLTechLife It's my pleasure. Have a nice time.
Thank you! Additionally, I only had to research how to disable web search from Windows search as it was directing to Bing.
No worries at all
Thank you for being straight to the point, direct, and clear.
You’re welcome. Glad you liked the video. Have a great day!
I don't make comments on videos and I don't sign into UA-cam very often but I want to say thank you so much for this video
Thank you TL Tech Life, you are fantastic...Thank you so much - I feel liberated from Edge!
is there a way to remove the bing search on the search bar and get search highlights instead?
Thank you sooo much! Just fixed my moms new computer! Huge thumbs up❤🎉
