Microsoft’s PC Manager is a cool, useful, and free tool for PC users who want to optimize Windows quickly and easily. But using PC Manager apparently can also have unwanted side effects.
Since the latest space-saving update, PC Manager has also been searching for very specific optimization requirements on Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers. If PC Manager recognizes that you’ve preset Google or another non-Microsoft search engine on Windows 11’s native Edge browser, it recommends switching to Microsoft’s Bing search engine, as Windowslatest reports.

PC Manager says that the default settings for Edge have been changed and recommends restoring the original settings specified by Microsoft, with Bing as the default search engine. The whole thing seems a bit intrusive, as hardly any users are likely to have accidentally set Google as their search engine — especially as the suggestions appear under the heading “Repair tips.” That’s almost cheeky.
So don’t be put off by this repair tip. Apart from that, the PC Manager is definitely worth a look, though you can also use CCleaner or other tuning tools. Please note, however, that tuning tools can sometimes lead to undesirable consequences and even damage the operating system. Use them at your own risk.
