Figured out that the Bing Homepage Quiz can be kind of tricky sometimes. Not everyone gets it to show up right away, especially if the browser isn’t showing the latest content or regional settings aren’t aligned. It’s kind of annoying because all you want is to test your knowledge and rack up some Microsoft Rewards points, but then the quiz just decides not to load. This guide’s here to help troubleshoot those hiccups, so you can actually participate without biting your nails or rebooting everything endlessly. It’s honestly a small victory each time the quiz pops up, and fixing common issues means you’re not just stuck staring at a blank screen.
How to Fix Missing Bing Homepage Quiz Issues
Use a different browser or Incognito mode
Why this helps: Sometimes, browsers cache outdated info or extensions block certain scripts, making the quiz vanish. Switching to another browser or using the Incognito mode clears that cache and disables extensions temporarily, giving a clean slate. On some setups, the quiz shows right up when you do this, because of course, Windows has to make it harder than necessary.
When it applies: If the quiz is missing big time or loads inconsistently.
What to expect: The quiz should appear in the usual spot on the Bing.com homepage after switching browsers or opening a private window.
Quick tip: In Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N. In Edge or Firefox, it’s similar—Ctrl + Shift + N.
Clear your browser cache & cookies
Why this helps: Cache can hold onto old versions of pages or scripts, which might interfere with the quiz showing up. Clearing cookies and cache forces the browser to fetch fresh content. Because of course, Windows has to make it harder than necessary.
When to try this: If the quiz was visible earlier and suddenly disappeared, or after a browser update.
What you’ll do: For Edge, go to edge://settings/privacy. Then, find the option to clear browsing data, select Cached images and files plus Cookies and other site data, and clear it all. Restart the browser and check again.
Change your region to the United States
Why it helps: Sometimes, regional settings can hide or disable certain features, like the quiz. Switching to the US region often triggers it to appear. It’s kind of odd, but regional restrictions on Bing things are a thing.
When to do this: If you’ve tried everything else and still see nothing.
How to do it:
- Open Bing.com
- Click on the three-line menu icon in the top right.
- Select “Settings”.
- Under Country/Region, switch it to United States.
- Reload Bing and see if the quiz appears.
Pro tip: If this doesn’t work immediately, try clearing cache after changing the region, then reload again.
Extra Tips & Common issues to watch for
For the smoothest experience and maximum reward earning, stick to Microsoft Edge whenever possible—the quiz is optimized there. Also, double-check your account at Rewards.bing.com to make sure your points are tracking properly. Sometimes, the quiz is just hidden because your account isn’t set up right or it’s not synced across devices.
