    Search results ignore my Default browser...


    Despite setting my Default browser choice in Windows 10, when I search from the Start menu the results open in MS Edge! It also appears that Search results are ignoring my Default search engine too - using Bing instead! How do I force Search results to open in my Default browser and use my choice of Search Engine too???

    :)
