Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate your effort on this. However, in order to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we will need the details requested below:

• In Which browser are you facing this issue?

If you're using Windows 10 in S mode, Microsoft Edge is always the default web browser, and Bing is the default search engine. But you can access other browsers and search engines while in S mode. You can download any browser available in the Microsoft
Store in Windows, and you can navigate to any other search engine website.



However, if you are not using Windows 10 in S Mode, then you can try to change the default search engine. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

Change your default search engine and check if that helps.
