Windows 10: Stoppint Bing on startup

Running Windows 10 Home v 1909. Have looked online how to stop Bing from appearing on startup. Everything including what's in the Community Forum would appear to apply to earlier versions of W10. I follow the steps and nothing I see corresponds to the instructions I'm supposed to follow.

For example, one set of instructions says "3. Click Cortana & Search Settings." This does not exist!

Thanks for any help you can give.

How to run Google at startup (instead of Bing)

Bing was automatically loading at start up in Microsoft 10. I prefer to use Google am trying to figure out how to replace Bing with Google at startup.

I was able to 'turn off' Bing (that's a whole other story.....had to go through the RegEdit process since turning off Bing wasn't an option using Cortana). So now I'm trying to figure out how to add Google to the list of startup programs in Task Manager.
Microsoft help says select 'Start', then right click the program you want to add to Startup, click 'More' then click 'Open File Location". Microsoft help then says if 'Open File Location' isn't displayed, the program can't run at start up. So I'm stuck.
Anyone know how to have Google dispaly at startup? Thank you....BD in Little Rock
