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.

    WHY do large corp FIX their products that are NOT BROKE, Bing daily quiz,sometime it works,others, it won't appear breaking the days followed for extra points

    Good question. They are not fixing the issue and they keep changing the format. They forgot the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” motto. They are ignoring the issues that need fixing which they don’t know how to fix so they dabble in other things. They laid off a bunch of people and they now have people who don’t Jack about systems.
