When I try to change the search engine that my address bar uses, it only gives me the option "Bing (Default)." I had been using Google previously with no issues.

Microsoft Edge | Tabs, address bar, and search | Windows 11

Hi, good day!

To help narrow this down, could you let me know

  • Is this a personal or work/school-managed device?
  • Did this start after a recent Edge or Windows update, or did it happen unexpectedly?
  • Have you tried visiting google.com and then checking if Google appears under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Search and connected experiences > Address bar and search > Manage search engines?

I look forward to your update and am willing to collaborate with you until we resolve the issue. Keep me posted by clicking "Add comments" below.
