I have tried all online fixes but nothing is working; inetcpl.cpl, uninstalling & reinstalling, advanced options internet explorer & updating microsoft office. It just started giving me this error a couple of days ago.

Carol, my problem was persistent not intermittent. However, I only tried Word and Excel - so don't know how it would be in Powerpoint.
One of the MVPs said if the problem was intermittent, then it was generally an MS server issue. Regardless, you should report it to them.
Good luck!

So you created a new profile on your computer? As previously indicated - it is somewhat of a pain, but resolved the problem.
The reply strings still have not solved the issue. Very frustrating....sometimes I can insert one online picture in a Powerpoint presentation, then a minute later I want to insert another online picture, and I get the error message. I believe it has to do with the link within the application to the "bing" search engine connection as that is the default search engine Microsoft uses to search for photos....
same with me it was working but now same notification I m getting
Hi Sonia-I had to set up a new user profile to fix it. A huge pain but it did the trick.
