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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Why do you always make it the users fault? Your solutions always require them clear all your MS generated clutter and go about making the fixes themselves. I think it's time that you guys did some bug fixing.
Bing isn't working (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN) for me while using Chrome so I came here for a resolution. I thought about deleting my cache but tried Edge instead; still the same error.
Sounds like it's not the cache. Sounds like I should go back to Google since it's working just fine.
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 did a recovery reset and it went back to original Windows Microsoft Edge and it did a re-updated everything works great now even Bing on my phone works great now I think that's just a coincidence
I agree. I noticed I can only get points for 4 searches per every 30 minutes and sometimes an hour later. I don't get any on the cellphone anymore using Bing or Edge. If they are ending this they should at least announce that they are. If they're putting time restraints for the searches, that too should be announced. That lame excuse about using bots to get points is truly ridiculous sense there's a maximum total amount of points per search one can get per day. Frankly, I have no idea how a bot works, let alone cheat to gain points. But, getting a straight answer from support is entirely useless!
