It's not that I dislike Bing, as much as I don't want it or any browser trying to take over. I'm quite happy with Google for now.
It used to be easy in W10 to set default and remove other browsers - but I can't seem to find that option now.
I have googled how to remove Bing many times, but the suggested solutions don't track with the latest version of W11 (22H2)

Anyone got a simple solution?

    Its my Server / occasional user.
    The 12TB drives use Stablebit Drivepool :)
I went into SETTINGS and set FF as the default browser and FF is set to use Google as the default search engine. Never see Bing as any files when CCleaner is run. I let B exist as it was installed.

Beats me. I just set Google as default search in the address bar. It goes to bing instead. Used to be you could set a letter to use another engine like g for google, d for duckduckgo. Now it seems hard wired you have to type google,com then the search term, Might as well just go to google site first. I don't see any way to change it. (I am just talking about Edge settings.)
