Can't copy-paste from Bing Image Search?

For some reason, ever since some new update, I cannot properly copy-paste any image off of Bing. When i try to do so, by right-clicking, it instead doesn't show that option, as it selects random parts of the image and thinks I want to search with them. I do NOT want to search with them. How do I remove this stupid feature? I just want to be able to copy and paste images from Bing AND not have an option to click to search on parts of the image. I need to right-click to copy-paste and I will not settle for some work-around. Thanks.

    Hi Daniel G,

    I understand how annoying it is when right‑click on images doesn’t behave as you expected. This might be related to the Visual Search feature in Edge, so let’s check if we can turn it off and whether this helps:

    • Open Microsoft Edge > Click the three-dot next to your profile
    • Choose Settings > Appearance > Browser behavior and features
    • Scroll to Visual search > Turn OFF all, especially Enable Visual Search
      • If they’re already off, try turning it on
      • Restart Edge then go back and turn off.
    • Close Edge completely and reopen it > try right‑clicking an image again.

    I hope that once you disable Visual Search, Bing will stop forcing the “select parts of image” behavior and revert to standard right‑click handling.
