Edge keeps asking to change default search engine to bing

Hello John,

I think that what Padipoo is asking, is that Windows itself suggest from time to time to reset our default search back to Bing. It doesn't comes from an extension but from some sort of "Windows Experience" thing I guess. It usually happen after a Windows Update - I'm not sure. If for some users it could be useful to get rid of a bad search engine that been pushed to them from a malicious way, I'd wish that if I choose something okay, like Google or DuckDuckGo, that we'd be excluded from changing back to Bing.

Best regards,

Bernard
