Help! Can't change Windows default search.. - BilliGates - Feb 5, 2020
I have tried SearchDeflector,EdgeDeflector....nothing changes. Can't get rid of Bing search on web.
Any tips/tricks? 😕

Thanks for helping. But this guide is only to disable Bing and web search.
Any ideas how can I change it to DuckDuckGo or StartPage?

Hello buddy,
What about this one ? https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/change-cortana-search-engine
Looks like there is DuckDuckGo too
Don't forget to tell us if it worked
RE: Help! Can't change Windows default search.. - BilliGates - Feb 7, 2020
Nope.
The funny thing is after I have installed SearchDeflector (https://github.com/spikespaz/search-deflector). It worked only for the first time.
After that Windows forced me to use Bing again. I have tried to re-install SD few times,it never worked again.
Btw,I'm using the latest version - Windows Home 1909.

Hello guys,
I read an article related to this problem which is known by Microsoft, only need to update your OS to fix the issue.
