Windows 10: The Bing serch engine in Windows 10.

The Bing search doesn't work 90% of the time. When I want to go to a site with EDGE Bing comes up with "can't reach this page".

What is wrong with Bing?


Also how do I get rid of this crapy search engine?

"

When you enter something in the address bar in Microsoft Edge, you’ll see results from Bing. Microsoft recommends Bing for the best performance with Windows 10. Bing gives instant help for Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge (just like this). And Bing links search
results with some Windows 10 apps. But Microsoft Edge uses OpenSearch technology, so you can change the default search engine. Here’s how:

• 
  Enter the search engine’s website and browse to it.
  
• 
  Select More actions (...) > Settings and then scroll down to select View
  advanced settings. In the list under Search in the address bar with, choose Add new.
  
• 
  Select the website and then select Add as default.
  
  • 
    Note: Only search providers that support the OpenSearch standard will appear in this list. If they don’t support it yet,here's how
    they can."

Photo options and search engine in Windows 10

Hi Ruth,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

When you say skip movies, music and games, what exactly do you mean by that?

I would suggest you to use Photo app in Windows 10 so that all the photos will be listed in one place.

For reference Photos app for Windows help:

Note : Steps applies to Windows 10 as well.

You can use any search engine you desire. Bing comes as default search engine in Windows 10. If you prefer some other search engine then you can use that search engine.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

Thank You.
