I'd got rid of MS Bing search engine for a while but forgot how, Now I suspect it has come back probably with an update. I don't like these uninvited quests camping on my front lawn every time my PC goes to sleep and has to be started again. How do remove this, and how do we stop MS from putting it back? Maybe they think I'll weaken and replace Google. No!

It's very very simple to change to whatever search engine you want.
In fact just bring up any browser page - go to your favorite search site, (google , duckduck go , whatever), then bookmark it. That's all you have to do. No-one is forcing you to use any particular search engine ever.

Sorry I don't think I was clear, I have google and can get to it, but everytime my PC goes to sleep and I restart it, instead of going back to my work it loads a pretty panaramic scene, I have to hit the log on button, which takes me to the MS Bing page with all these links to the scenic page prior, which I have to close to get back to work. Teach me for getting distracted elswhere I guess.

Thanks pheonix, love the heading Windows 10 Annoyances and Problems, sums up my experiences since WIn 7 was no more.
