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.

    The New Bing and MS have changed for the worse. No more giving to charities.

    It appears that the focus on making rapid changes to accommodate AI and "the New Bing" as well as the lay-offs in January and October have created multiple issues. One of the first rules of business is to keep your current customers satisfied. One of the first rules of programming is complicated algorithms get buggy and changing one thing can create issues in multiple other places. I have no problem with AI but I have to agree things are changing for the worse.

    Face it Microsoft. Bing and Edge just don’t work anymore. Poor products with poor results. You’re pushing me back to Google.
