OK, Bing is not part of Windows per se, but it must use some Windows mechanism to remember the user is logged in. The trouble is every day I return to my computer and have to login to Bing again, though it seems to remember me during the day. How can I get it to remember day to day?

I don't believe that can be done. I'm thinking after so much time of inactivity Bing logs you off.

Is it really that big of a problem to log in once a day?

Hang in there, others might have something to help you.

Well, if were just one login, it's a nuisance, but when it's on every browser profile of each notebook and VM I run each day, we are talking perhaps an order of magnitude bigger problem than you might have envisioned.

PS
Here's an nice TED talk I send people when talking about how software designers don't imagine how something will be used. This guy has a story about a bank that didn't think negative dollar amounts would be transferred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwJyKmCbOws

It peeves me when engineers are lazy about providing a good user experience. It annoys me that Bing won't stay connected while other web services actually manage to do it right.

PPS
When I said every profile, I mean think about Chrome, it's one browser, but you can run many profiles on just that browser alone. I can't think of a windows env. where I don't have at least three browsers too. Win 10 - Edge (native) IE (because lots of apps support IE but not Chrome or Edge), Chrome (mostly because of the various profiles.)

And I run multiple notebooks side by side. FYI, I find InputDirector a valuable tool to use a single mouse and keyboard across it all fairly seemlessly.
