Windows 10: Bing Search hardcoded to open when using links in notifications generated by 3rd party Apps...

Like the title says, a previous question of someone else was just closed without the person asking even getting a chance toreply if the problem was solved by the generic "solution" offered, which of course does not adress the core problem.It sort of shows uncomfortable questions that expose absolutely unacceptable app behaviour forcing your own app to interfere with the system wide search engine default to generate traffic on your own search service, isnt just prohbited by FTC and EU regulations but, also security relevant, because that is outright badware or malware behviour arent adressed

Bing Search for app opens instead of correct web URL

When I click on a notification of an app like Google Drive in the phone link app it opens a search for that in Bing Seach. I dont want that. Where can I change it to go to the specific item in the notification in Google Drive instead?

 

History of search in Bing

Hello,

I do not use Bing for my searches, but yesterday I opened the Bing history and I found a website that I’m sure I never visited (porn dating site…)

If I read the list of Bing history, I find other pages, but I use W10, I have a Windows account and sometimes I click the link on the screensaver, to search where the picture is token.

But…never visit a porn dating site.

Some suggestion? Why I have this history?
