I uninstalled the Bing Desktop, but when I shut down the computer and it came back up, it was still there.  How can I get rid of it completely?

Bing desktop was released through the windows update system,

Which is where you can Uninstall the update from,

Go to Uninstall a program or Programs and features,

On the top left click on View installed updates,

Scroll the list, it might take a minute or two to completely load all of the updates.

Right click it and click on Uninstall, it should be listed as, Bing desktop search.

P.S.

Change how you receive windows Recommended updates so when you uninstall it, it will not reload.

    There is no "BING" update installed on my Windows 10 Computer.

    No not helpful because it will not delete BING and MSN

    It is a shame to push those things against Out will into the Browsers.

    Microsoft is losing more IE and Edge Browser users to Google as they win with BING and MSN I believe.

    Not very helpful but a kind of funny.

    I can not avoid The IE or Edge completely.

    I hope dearlythat so many users do not wan't to be bothered by "Bing" or "MSN" that Microsoft will give their Customers a way out sometime.
