Why can't I download Bing desktop to my Windows 10? I tried to download thru Microsoft download web page, and it said no longer available.

 I tried to download thru Microsoft download web page, and it said no longer available. I have tried in many ways to do this, but nothing works.  I did have Bing on my desktop, but it disappeared.
Hi Bonnie. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 years Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

I found a download here that works: https://download.cnet.com/Bing-Desktop/3000-237...

Use the big green Download button at top, then open from your browser Downloads.

Watch what you check to make sure how much you want it to take over. If you uncheck everything it will only give a little search box on your desktop with some buttons on it for other features.

Set a System Restore point first: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-system-r... so you can go back because many people consider this an infection in the ways it can integrate. But others love it.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

I have a macOS 10.15.3.  The fix you sent did not work.  Can you think of another way? Although, I was not certain what you meant from opening from my browser Downloads. I appreciate your trying to help. Bonnie

If you download an app like that in a browser, you may need to go into the Browser settings to find the Downloads and open from it from there. See here how to find these:

If you're not even finding the download to open and run, then try another browser.
