Sorry but I still can't see it.

When I go into Setting and then Privacy I get:
Windows Permissions
General
Speech
Inking and Typing Personalization
Diagnostics and Feedback
Activity History.

Below that I get:
App Permissions followed by a list which does not include anything about Address Bar and Search.

You are still not looking in the correct place, I suggested earlier you look in settings within edge , here lets go directly

In edge type this

edge://settings/searchEngines

other shortcuts in edge :- edge://settings/privacy ,edge://settings/search

Thanks for this. As you say I was looking in the wrong place. When I go into where you suggest the problem seems to be this:

Yahoo AASearchproonline (Default) goto.searchproonline.comhttps://goto.searchproonline.co.......

I can remove the other search engines but I am not allowed to remove this one. I can only edit it but it still appears as my default.

Any help appreciated

You are looking in the Windows settings.  You need to go to the settings in Edge itself.  Open Edge.  In the top left corner of the window is three dots.  Click on it and choose settings from the menu that appears.

Got the problem sorted and how have Bing as my default. Ran Malwarebytes but nothing detected which is good. A big thank you to everyone who responded to and helped resolve the problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.

You are not in your browser settings....That is windows settings....It's not hard, just look at the picture debitcardmayhem  posted above, he's even provided a big red arrow to point at where the settings are....
