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.

    Hear hear! Presuming this post has been accepted due to the favourable comparison of Microsoft to Apple :D

    I had this problem for a few weeks, so I changed my HOME button to go to Google.

    No sooner had I done this, when BING worked again!

    Many, many people have experienced this same issue. We have not received any assistance from Microsoft technical support. BING search is not compatible with many programs. Most of us have chosen to move to Google as you have. Many are also moving to Google for many other things since Microsoft support has been non-responsive with other issues and programs as well. Thank you for sharing your experience.
