App Issues

The Microsoft Bing package integrates Bing web results into Windows Search, so it may not appear as a separate, launchable app in the Start menu.^1^

Check whether it is installed

1. Open Start → Settings → Apps → Installed apps.
2. Search for Microsoft Bing.
3. If it appears, the package is installed. Press Windows key + S, enter a web query, and look for Bing web results in Windows Search. Microsoft documents the package as the web-search provider used by Windows Search.^1^
4. If you want quick access to the Bing website, open it in your browser and use the browser’s option to pin the page to the taskbar or install it as a site app, if available.

If Microsoft Bing is not under Installed apps

Open its official Microsoft Store page and select Install:

Microsoft Bing ^2^

Alternatively:

1. Open Microsoft Store.
2. Select Library.
3. Find Microsoft Bing, then select Install. Microsoft recommends this Library method for reinstalling Store apps.^3^
4. After installation, check Settings → Apps → Installed apps again rather than relying only on Start-menu search.

If the Store says it is installed but it is still missing

Reset the Microsoft Store cache:

1. Press Windows key + R.
2. Enter wsreset.exe.
3. Select OK.
4. Wait for the blank Command Prompt window to close and Microsoft Store to open.
5. Return to Microsoft Store → Library, locate Microsoft Bing, and install it again.^4^

If the Store does not offer the app, availability can also depend on your country or region, account settings, or device compatibility.^4^
