    Hello Jody Morvent

    Thank you for reaching out about your query, and have you had the chance to check João Constantino's comment yet? Based on his question I will provide some basic methods to disable Bing:

    1. Remove Bing as your browser's default search engine
      • If you're using Microsoft Edge, open Settings > Privacy, search and services > Search and connected experiences> Address bar and search > click the dropdown and choose your prefer search engine
    2. Remove Bing from Microsoft Edge:
      • Since Bing is now a part of Microsoft Edge, Windows search and it is not a regular program so at the moment it is not possible to remove Bing from Microsoft Edge entirely, this also apply with Windows search
    3. Remove the Bing app:
      • If you see the Bing icon appears on the task bar or as a shortcut on your desktop, right-click the icon then select Unpin from taskbar or click Delete

    I hope this helps, please do provide us with additional information when you have the time.
