The only option to fix this issue is to apply some tweaks in Windows Registry. Press Windows + R key and this will open run menu for you. Type regedit to open registry editor.

This will open the registry editor for you.

Navigate to the below location in the registry editor.

Right-click on the search folder and select New and then DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name the value BingSearchEnabled

Now double-click BingSearchEnabled to open it and type 0 as default value.
