Troubleshooting website display or functionality issues in Edge on Windows 11
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Since before the latest update to Windows 11, I have been having issues with Bing in Edge.
When I open Edge (Bing is my default Search Engine) I will get "Hmmm... can't reach this page" for Bing.com. Or, if I open a new tab and click the homepage button I will get the same results. Hitting "Refresh" doesn't always fix the issue. It doesn't happen every time, but it is consistent. However, I can open a different website (say Yahoo.com) and it opens immediately.
Microsoft Edge
I also have issues with Bing being excessively slow when doing searches, or it will time out.
Your assistance with addressing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I am unable to uninstall/repair Microsoft Edge. Windows 11 won't let me.

Oh my goooshness! I've given up on waiting for such things. I used to send feedback all the time and then I realized that for all the good it did, they're all probably going to some spam folder or automated trash system at Microsoft. Because nothing gets addressed. The last time I did that, they finally gave up the ghost on the application I really liked using. It was MS shopping assistant, but it was riddled with glaring bugs and graphic issues. People complained and all we got for our efforts was the usual,
"Thank you for your feedback, we will be looking into the problem.... blah blah blah, your feedback is important to us.... blah blah blah."
The problem has been like this for at least the past two years I've been trying to use Bing, if not longer. I don't understand how a company with the value it has financially could put so much money into a search engine with the singular goal of competing with Google only to let it suck due to what is a bug. And a bug it is. And really, Google could use some real competition, because its' become such a commercialized monstrosity you have to download an add-on to block all the Amazon and Walmart listings that populate almost every search you do.
As for Bing, there are even browser add-ons (albeit complicated ones) that have been created just to get Bing to stop acting like the ugly stepchild it is. But that isn't anyone's responsibility to do, nor is it for you or me to have to run around doing all these "maintenance" type things in our browsers to get it to work. And no matter what browser you use, Bing does this. It isn't you. It isn't your browser. It is Bing and even worse, it is Microsoft. And yet Microsoft is the number one wealthiest company in the nation, followed by Apple in the number two spot. And both act like the wealthy sons of aristocracy only willing to do something if it benefits them, and it requires next to nothing from them.
They both respond to user complaints in the same manner. It's either your fault because you're an idiot, or they refuse to even acknowledge the complaints at all.
If a company decades ago behaved like either of these two before the growth of the massive tech companies of today, they wouldn't last long. Even Ma Bell had to watch her wretched step, and in the end even that witch was broken up (for all the good that did).
But today's multinationals are so massive, so divested, so otherworldly, that they can and do thumb their noses not only at their customers, but the very country that gave them opportunity to become what they have. And we should all be crapping in our panties over that. But instead, we love them like they're our mummies and daddies, and that's sick.
I agree, simply, Bing sucks. I avoid it. I think everyone should. There is no way to fix it. I think we all agree.

Yes, they don't really care. I use as little of their garbage as I can. So I've moved everything I can and do what I can with my own programs. They are a necessary evil, certainly not my god or parent. They all eventually end up eating each other since there is always a bigger shark. I think their demise will be their precious AI. Time will tell.
All these greedy corporations have stopped giving to charities. Amazon stopped their program a year or so ago as well.
I just wanted to chime in with you that first of all my being just started about 3 weeks ago where the homepage has everything there the little news things down to the bottom but when I click on the news story it goes to the results page and it has the you know Microsoft rewards and my name and all that written up top but the search part there's nothing written there it's just White but they've also done something you're still getting points but they're doing it really weird now I think they're trying to stop us when I do it on my phone I always do images it is look at those pictures I get points but the first three image search they don't show up as getting points but on the third one you get 15 points and some searches you don't get points so I always do more searches than necessary to get the right points and they don't show up correctly anymore but they're still there I'm sorry this is lengthy because I talked this text
