Windows 10: I am getting annoyed at this ................

Windows 10 Home, version 1803 build 17134.83
Default browser : IE11
I don't usually "whine", but this time I am pissed...……...
In the past, I could always open IE11 > Tools > Manage add-ons > Search providers > Find more search providers.
From there I would pick Google > Add it > select Google as default > Remove Bing from the list.

Now ? Not a chance !!
Find more search providers shows 404 Server Error.
So, I am not allow to select another search provider ?
Is that another one of those tyrannical MS moves, jamming what THEY want down our throats ?
Or I am over-reacting, that there is another way to remove Bing from Search providers list ?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

  How many user accounts are setup on the PC?
  

I suggest you to check if issue persists in Hidden Admin account. Follow the steps to enable Hidden Admin:

• 
  Press Windows key + X.
  
• 
  Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type ‘net user administrator /active:yes’ and press Enter.
  
• 
  Now check if issue persists on the Hidden admin account.
  

Please get back to us with the results of the result of the proposed suggestion.
