Google asks to complete captcha at every new visit, and completing captchas fails most of the time

I've been using NordVPN for a year or two, but since about a month or so I noticed that every time I visit www.google.com or every time I start a search from the URL bar of my browser, I'm asked to complete a captcha first.

My first problem is obviously that I don't want to deal with captchas every single time I Google something. The problem occurs regardless of which browser I use to (visit) Google, both Chrome and Firefox (which I use most of the time) have the same issue. I've tried clearing cookies and website data as some articles mentioned, but that doesn't help. Most articles hint to disable your VPN for Google, but then what's the point of a VPN?

My second problem is the captcha process itself. If the captcha says (for example) click on all bicycles in the image, I can either click each tile which contains "99% bicycle" but leave out a tile which only contains a steering wheel, or which contains the person on the bicycle, and the captcha fails. When I include each tile that contains a part bicycle, the captcha fails. The same for stairs, busses, traffic lights, you name it - I always fail the captcha. Only captchas with multiple images where you need to select all images of X I'm able to pass. Surely one of these methods should lead to a passed captcha? What am I missing here?
