Windows 10: Irritating programs that I can't remove - Bing and Magix popups

I recently had to reinstall everything following a system disk failure. All now working and behaving nicely, except for Bing and Magix apps.

Firstly Bing. I have tried all the things you can find by Googling to stop Bing loading automatically when I start up. I don;t want it to do so. If I wanted a browser to start automatically I'd go for Google Chrome. Also, if I enter something in the Start box that needs to go to a search engine, you guessed it, it uses Bing. How can I park Bing somewhere where it will just keep itself to itself. This wasn't an issue before the installation pre-system crash. I am now using latest Windows 10 installation (though I thought that was what i was suing before).

A slightly different problem, is Magix. I have Photostory ane Video Editor installed, and every time I load either one, a box pops up on the bottom right trying to sell me the update or something. Not a big problem - just click on X but I find it a bit annoying that a paid for program keeps advertising other products made by the same company.
