this just started happening in the last three days. I don't know what specifically i am redirected to. It might be ads. i will click on real results, but the links that open in place, have nothing to do with what i click on. i have to click back, then the link again. They don't even appear in my history.

    I recently received a report from Microsoft, about an Edge add-in called Visio Viewer (from the Microsoft Store). The report seemed to indicate it was a bad add-in, even though I have had it installed for years, and have been using it for years without issue. So I uninstalled it. So far, no recurring ad redirects from Bing. Let's see if this holds. For others, check your add-ins (extensions) and look for the Visio Viewer.

    I ran sfc /scannow and it fixed some registry issues and other things. i don't know what it fixed. i cannot understand it. might it have fixed anything pertaining?

    The redirect started again, so the plugin that I uninstalled might not be due to the plugin. it definitely is only in Edge at this time. On my search results, the links don't appear to start with bing something, The search engine is Bing, but the links can say anything. They can be anything that I searched for, and they might take me to something else. The new link will be mynewsearch at the beginning (or something like that). The edge browser will not find anything related to that topic, but Chrome will.
