Purely out of interest, what makes you think that it is Copilot that is causing the problem? It seems to me that you have just plucked that one out of thin air. Much like some MS geeks have done throughout this thread, saying that clearing cache or history, or restarting will cure the problem.
Please, if you think there might be an external influence that is causing the problem, please give details of why and how, along with your solution.

noiwillnotthis is NOT a bug! look at the source page data. it's by design like I said earlier in the thread. MS want's it to do that and they will not listen to anyone.(as always) You can easily overcome it by installing tampermonkey ad-on for your browser. then open it up and click "get some scripts". search for "fix for bing". It comes right up with "Fix for "Bing Search returns to the top". install it and from then on you can come back to your bing tab an hour later and it will be exactly where you left it. When your researching using bing and you middle click 5 or 6 sites you want to check out, it's a major pain to go back to the bing tab knowing your going to lose your place. It makes no sense to anyone but microsoft. I'm convinced they don't even use bing.

nisalk96It has absolutely nothing to do with Copilot. The problem is far older than Copilot. I politely suggest that you read through the thread before posting. It may provide a little more insight.

I appreciate your suggestion really thank you. But no. Having to do that is akin to patching holes in a boat with bubble gum so you can use it to go fishing for the day... crazy?
It's Microsoft's own system. They built it. So, they release a browser with all these bells and whistles, but you have to turn one thing off to use another aspect of it because it has periods of fits? You would think we have an old 1970 Chevy here and we have to turn the heater on while taking long drives, else the engine will overheat. 🙂
Anyway, I don't' think it is Copilot. As this problem with Bing has been occurring while using Safari, Brave, Vivaldi, and Firefox browsers as well. They don't have Copilot and the issue began for me when I first started using Bing roughly two years ago and has been an issue ever since despite people complaining. It's on all the forums I've searched for answers from. There is even a "workaround" called Tap Monkey one can download as an add-on to make Bing work.
Have you ever heard anything so inept as that? You have to download a third-party add-on, keep it up to date almost daily just to make a company's software to function as touted? Could you imagine millions of people using Google having to do such things just to make Google function as a search engine should? Nope... Me neither.
Considering Microsoft is the number one highest valued company in the nation, this doesn't give me much faith in how we do things anymore. As in, half-assed, then grab the money before the flaws hit the wall. The more nerve shaking thing about this is no one wants to hear such things as it shakes their worldview and sense of security. We like our fantasies of belief that all is well and shall remain so forever. 🙂
But I actually found a much better solution!
I just don't use Bing for anything important any longer. I've relegated it to the bin of occasional use as I once did with Yahoo a few decades back! :).
- GaryJonJonOct 07, 2024Copper ContributorOh wow these conspiracies/guesses are so embarrassing. Please read through the thread for the answer. Bing's actually not that bad once you load ublacklist ad-on and ban all the fake news they love to push.
