    How to stop angkor wat quiz - bing from loading


    Over the past week once I have logged into windows and before activating anything angkor wat quiz - bing pops up on the screen. It is annoying and unwanted - it would not be quiet as bad if it came up as the home page after clicking on the Microsoft Edge icon but no it arrives as straight after I enter my password / pin.I have tried - start up, - reg edit, - control panel, edge settings, - windows settings to find it and delete but none of them identify this site at all. I have deleted edge and using another program but that has not worked. Is there a way of tracking it down and deleting it,

    :)

  2. Bing mobile stuck on quiz

    I am using Bing on my phone but the rewards page is stuck on the coffee break quiz from earlier in the week. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but the quiz is the only reward offered and it still gets stuck there. Any suggestions?

    Mystery of Angkor Wat Temple's Huge Stones Solved

    The massive sandstone bricks used to construct the 12th-century temple of Angkor Wat were brought to the site via a network of hundreds of canals, according to new research.

    The findings shed light on how the site's 5 million to 10 million bricks, some weighing up to 3,300 pounds (1,500 kilograms), made it to the temple from quarries at the base of a nearby mountain.

    "We found many quarries of sandstone blocks used for the Angkor temples and also the transportation route of the sandstone blocks," wrote study co-author Estuo Uchida of Japan's Waseda University, in an email.

    In the 12th century, King Suryavarman II of the Khmer Empire began work on a 500-acre (200 hectare) temple in the capital city of Angkor, in what is now Cambodia. The complex was built to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but 14th-century leaders converted the site into a Buddhist temple.

    Archaeologist knew that the rock came from quarries at the base of a mountain nearby, but wondered how the sandstone bricks used to build Angkor Wat reached the site. Previously people thought the stones were ferried to Tonle Sap Lake via canal, and then rowed against the current through another river to the temples, Uchida told LiveScience.

    To see whether this was the case, Uchida's team surveyed the area and found 50 quarries along an embankment at the base of Mt. Kulen. They also scoured satellite images of the area and found a network of hundreds of canals and roads linking the quarries to the temple site. The distance between the quarries and the site along the route Uchida's team found was only 22 miles (37 kilometers), compared with the 54 miles (90 km) the river route would have taken.

    The grid of canals suggests the ancient builders took a shortcut when constructing the temple, which may explain how the imposing complex was built in just a few decades.

    Irritating programs that I can't remove - Bing and Magix popups

    Thank you all for the suggestions.
    I tried JayCee's link first and just following the first few steps on that sorted the issue. Bing no longer loads on start-up. Time will show if I have disabled anything else!
    I then looked at Dalchina's suggestion - The Task Bar did not show any Edge entries so I assume the earlier change have stopped this.
    Just to round off on suggestions - I have made disk images in past but in practice I never used them to rebuild, usually because they were too old and most things would need updating anyway. But I agree they could make life easier if I rebuilt every few months. I do so every 18 - 24 months.
