Default How do I get rid of BING!

Every time now when I go look for pics BING takes over the search. I didn't ask it to, but it started on the last windows update.
I hate having stuff rammed down my throat without being able to say NO.
The pics are too small, too slow, and you can't see the full image when you ask for the "view" of it. Fuck Bing!

Go into your browser's settings and change the search tool from BING to Google or Yahoo or Ask.

Did you try Duck Duck Go? It will ask you if you want it to become the default browser. Click yes, and that's it.....no mas Bing, DDG will become your new default browser. Easy peasy.

Windows 10, that's the root problem.

Problem is that even if you delete everything associated with Bing so there's no sign of it, and disable all the Cortana info crap, it's still there. Microsoft has made it impossible to delete them both in Win 10s newest version. It's imbedded right into the OS. I even went back and took the last update out, and it's still there.

Oh....did I tell you ....I HATE BING and it's overlord CORTANA!

Have you tried opening a new browser window with a search function in it and selecting it as you search engine...

...instead of just trying to delete the bing system.

I think it maybe just reactivating because you dont have another one already selected.

I have Yahoo as my preferred search engine. Bing is not even listed on the possible other three, and yet anytime I open Google search, or Yahoo search it reverts to Bing.

The only way I can think of is to go into the bowels of Window where it shows all the aspects and parts of it, and pick out Image search or Bing or Cortana and delete them. Probably a lot of risks involved with that method too though.....
