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.

    If you can't beat em, PLEASE don't join em. I refuse to use Bing, I just use Chrome instead on my machine. I also wrote a scathing letter to Microsoft chastising them for making my consumer choices for me. I suggested they be forced to have a big fat disclaimer on their products explaining that when you buy Microsoft products it's like getting herpes. You sleep with every software program they've ever been in bed with, forever. That reminds me, I have a Mac i'm not using...

    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.

    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.

    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
