Want to change default search engine from Bing - how do I do that?

I also have the same MS Edge version and I can easily set Google as my default browser.

Don't you have an option like in the image below?

Thanks.

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for updating me with that information. Please try the following methods below.

**Disable or Uninstall Edge extensions

Open Edge > Click 3 dots > Extensions

Please check if one of your Extensions is forcing your search to use other search engine.

If this doesn't work, You may need to consider performing a Reset of Edge Chromium.

**Open Edge then click 3 dots > Settings

Select Reset Settings > Restore settings to their default values

Click Reset

Restart your computer

Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

Kind regards,

To the right of each of the entries shown in your screenshot is a ⋯ button labelled More actions when you point at it. Click on it to see the actions menu, which includes the option to Make default.

Thank You, John ... that did not work.

This is what all the prior comments say to do as well as DuckDuckGo.

However, the link to the other search engines is not hot - so they really cannot be added.

Has anyone been able to work around this?

All the Best,

Bruce
