Why is the Bing search engine not working properly with Microsoft Edge?

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.

I also have issues with Bing being excessively slow when doing searches, or it will time out.

Since the latest Windows 11 update, Bing has gotten worse when used with Edge. It started last night, when I opened Edge or opened a new tab and selected homepage the Bing Search page was "gray" with no image and just the search bar. The same thing happened today. I can open Bing in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and not have any issues.

And if I do an image search in Bing using Edge the images are small. I can open Bing in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and not have any issues.

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.

    As an update, I resolved the issue by changing my router's DNS to 8.8.8.8. The problem was with the default DNS server provided by my ISP.

    Cannot believe we are still at the same point on January 11 2024.... definitely a request to switch back to Google from Microsoft!

    I agree. Seems like they are totally ignoring our requests. I am switching to Google.
