I'm using a laptop with windows 10 and ever since I bought it the machine seems to favour MSN as a homepage.
I have recently tried to change this but, no matter what address I enter it always seems to return it back to MSN. Is there anything I can do about this or is this a factory setting.
Kind regards Jeff.

Which browser? In Google Chrome you go to settings and there is an option to set a specific set of pages to load at start up. The same is available in other browsers.0

Im guessing its Edge ..
Click the three little dots at the top right, then choose settings
Under "open with", click the "a specific page or pages" blob
Change the drop down to "custom"
And underneath that , click the "X" next to "about:start"
and then, in the box that says"Enter a web address", type your desired homepage
then click the "+"0 -
Thanks for the replies.
Yes I believe it to be Edge. I'm not that tech savvy but, I have always used windows browser whether it be 9-10- or eleven, not too sure what the latest would be or where to go and download the latest one. Advice is my only options.
Thank you and regards

Internet explorer is included with windows 10 still.
The current version is 11 and you can access it by typing iexplore into the search box

Thanks for all your replies.
I have sorted the home page now which is another small lesson learned regarding windows 10.
IE also operational.
Kind regards Jeff.0
