Bing Homepage Quiz Not Working? Here's How to Fix it

If you use Microsoft’s Bing search engine, you might already be familiar with the Bing homepage quiz feature, which offers users a daily trivia question or quiz on the Bing homepage.

Whether you’re an adult or a kid, it doesn’t matter because the Bing Homepage Quiz offers something for everyone.

However, there have been reports of the Bing homepage quiz not working properly for many users.

What is Bing Homepage Quiz?

The Bing homepage quiz is a daily trivia quiz on the Bing search engine homepage. It allows you to assess your knowledge and discover interesting facts interactively and enjoyably.

Whether it’s a geography quiz, yoga quiz, sports quiz, educational quiz, or any other category, Bing has a wide range of quizzes to choose from.

The quiz typically includes a set of multiple-choice questions, usually three in number. When you answer each question correctly, you earn reward points that can be used to redeem free gift cards, games, movies, and other exciting rewards.

How do I fix Bing homepage quiz not working?

Before delving into the main solutions we suggest, it’s recommended to try these straightforward workarounds:

• Try a different browser: If you’re experiencing issues with one browser, try accessing the Bing homepage quiz using a different browser to see if the problem persists. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your browser or a more widespread problem.
• Check for updates: Make sure your browser is up to date with the latest version. Updates often contain bug fixes and enhancements that can address website compatibility problems and improve overall performance.
• Disconnect from VPN or Proxy server: If you have a VPN connection or a Proxy server, the Bing home page may not work due to compatibility problems caused by these services. Disconnect the service and revert to your regular Internet connection.

1. Find the Q icon

NOTE

Previously, it was a graduation cap icon, but now it has been replaced by a new Q icon to access the homepage quiz. Remember that the Q icon is not always visible and is hidden by default. This may be why many users think the Bing quiz is not working.

1. Go to the Bing homepage.
2. Look for the Q icon that represents the Quiz feature.
3. Use the Hotspot feature of the Bing homepage to find the Q icon. Move your mouse cursor across different areas of the background image on the Bing homepage.
4. When your cursor enters the hotspot area, the Q icon will appear somewhere on the image.
5. Once you have found the Q icon, hover your mouse cursor over it.
6. Bing will display a fly-out with the homepage quiz when you hover over the Q icon.
7. The quiz will begin with the first question related to the image of the day.

2. Clear the browser cache and cookies

NOTE

3. Disable browser extensions

1. Open the Google Chrome browser.
2. Click the three vertical dots, move to More tools, and then select Extensions.
