I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Love Microsoft Updates



Don't you just love it. MS updates Win 10, you come back to your computer, log in and find they have reset Microsoft Edge.

You restore all your settings.

Next month MS updates Win 10, you come back to your computer, log in and find they have reset Microsoft Edge.

Once again MS is shoving their idea of what I want to see when I open IE. Then I try a search and once again s*dding Bing pops up.

Easy peasey, Click anonymous dot dot dot top right of screen.
Drop down menu, right at the bottom, and potentially off screen Settings
Click Settings, another drop down menu, no clues yet.
Scroll down, click View Advanced Settings, no clues yet, scroll down what seems an endless list and there is Change Search Engine

Job Done. Well not quite.

The next option is Clear Bing Search History this then does anything but. A new screen opens in Edge and all your search history is listed but could I find a Select All and Delete no, just a little cross against each item - like January, March, May, June.

Clearing one at a time is a complete pain. However Google to the rescue. Ask the question, open the answer, and up pops a Bing page, you are about to delete your search history - Yes - No

Job Done

And no, nothing mucky there, I just don't like something I have no control of.
