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.

    Like others I am unable to kill Bing. I find it totally useless and furthermore do not like having it forced on me by Microsoft Corp.  I hate it. Uninstalling it does not work - it comes back just like garden weeds.

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

    To the software engineers at Bing who stealthily hijacked my web browser, forcing me to spend hours to remove it, **** you and the horse you came in on
