Windows 10: How do you disable Bing from the taskbar search?

I had this disabled previously through an old registry edit I had found, but with the Cortana change in 2004, typing in the search bar brings up Bing search results again.

I was going to post this in the weekly question thread, but there isn't one for some reason.

Disable BING as default search engine

How do I disable BING from my browser? It pops up on start-up as the default search engine.

It's so frustrating. I've gone into menu setting to change, tried the Cortana search settings fix, and it still defaults back to Bing.

Have searched the internet over the months tried different solutions. Noticed many users also experiencing the same issue. Asking the same question. Some suggested solutions that were so technical and complicated, I gave up.

So now I'm here. Can someone give me a quick, easy fix to disable Bing? It can't be that hard or difficult, surely. )
