Update changes - Grr

flossy_splodge · 26 October 2015 at 4:44PM

Since doing a Microsoft update my computer now defaults to Yahoo search instead of my home page and I have to go all round the houses to get back to Google.
Anyway to deal with this other than go back to a restore point before I did the update?
Thanks

Do you not have a settings tab for whatever program has changed the home page settings .

Which browser are you using? Whichever it is I'd be astonished if it doesn't allow you to set your own Home Page. For example Firefox | Options | General -- and either type in the correct Home Page url or even easier of you're already on that page, click Use Current Page.

yes , but I am wondering which Microsoft update has changed the homepage ?

Let me clarify.
When I try to open Firefox, I actually get the Yahoo search page first and I've just noticed that behind it is my home page.
I do not want to see the Yahoo page.
What can i do please?

Got no idea which update changed things as there were a number that downloaded at the same time.:eek:

Have had a look in Options in Firefox and it is showing Firefox a my default browser but my home page instead of mse, showed yahoo search etc. I have deleted the yahoo bit so fingers crossed!
