Windows 10: Safe Search

Okay, I have tried almost everything to shut off the safe search filter in my Windows 10 Pro syste. I have spoken with my ISP Starlink and they do not do anything with that option, I have spoken with Bitdefender who states only one option that may have changed it, but after making that change it did not help. I am the admin on my home network and cannot chage it. It is the same in all the browers I have checked, so it is a Windows issue. I have looked through gpedit and it isn't configured, looked in windows and can't find a way to chenge it.So, what has MS done and how to shut it off. Than

:)

Reply To Zebal Regarding Safe Search And Search Suggestions

I use Bing as my search engine in both IE11 and Chromium Edge and stay logged into Bing at all times. Obviously, Bing's menu is where I have to go to turn Safe Search OFF, as well as, uncheck Use Search Suggestions. Safe Search is OFF in Start Menu Settings, and both Safe Search and Search Suggestions are set to be off in the registry. I have no idea what else to do to keep both OFF permanently. Logically you would think if you turn Safe Search OFF in Start Settings that would work, but it doesn't … don't know why they even have the option since it doesn't work. With Bing you would think if you turn Safe Search off in the menu and uncheck Search Suggestions, then click Save and Agree, that would take care of it, but it doesn't. Many times I do both, and before I can even open the first web page, Safe Search is back to Moderate again, and Search Suggestions re-checked. Again, I have no idea what else to do. I have discussed this with Microsoft many times and they usually don't answer and change the subject to something else. It's a shame I can't be in control of my own PC!
