Hi FredMcD. Thanks for the guidance. It appears that a recent Windows 10 Update changed my Windows Settings. I right-clicked on the Start button and went to Power Options. The screen was set to turn off after a very brief period of time, and the PC was set to go to sleep after a very brief period of time. I changed both settings to "Never", and my machine is behaving normally now.
My default browser is Firefox, and the Windows Update didn't change that setting. I'm going to do a Restart to see if Bing automatically launches.
Thanks again for your help. Leland Befort
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
