Computer problem

Post a screenshot so we can see what it is, thanks.

No answer, but it happens to me as well. For what it's worth, it started with a replacement hard drive. Mine usually only appears as a clickable address at the top of the page. Sometimes, the full screen appears, but not at startup. I'm using Windows 7 as browser, but have also set up Chrome and Foxfire.

It's an ugly screen and I would like to get rid of it.

I don't know how to post a screen shot. edit

It looks like a normal start up, except it's MSN with a different search engine

This might help. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-ca/msn/ff808634.aspx

Start by going into Settings in Chrome and seeing what your start page and search engine are set to. Change them if necessary.

I have done that and even set it to remove the search engine the other start page uses. Does no good.

I tried to do that and got nowhere.

If you get real desperate, you can delete everything to factory setting. How to reset computer to factory setting www.top-password.com

Try making sure Chrome is your default browser.

To do this, go into the "Type Here" box in Windows 10 and enter "default browser", and go there. Once there, make sure Chrome is selected as your default.

I did as you suggested and it has Chrome as default. The popup start page is less frequent now and has not showed today. It showed a couple of times yesterday and at least a time or two every day.

I have thought about the factory setting option. Not ready to go there, yet.

I don't know if it would work in your case, but I've found System Restore to be helpful several times in the past

There could be a snag with System Restore and Winders 10 however. According to this, although the restore feature is there, it needs to be manually enabled – something that wasn't the case on older versions. I only quickly scanned the article, but it looks like it's saying that no restore points will be created prior to enabling. What a crock

Ok. The next step would be to make sure that Chrome doesn't have any extensions in it which might be AdWare or Malware. This can also be found in "Settings" under "More Tools" > "Extensions".

It's also possible that your machine has real malware or adware running on it, but usually those programs don't take you to MSN sites, they take you to more annoying places like Bob's Free Trash ... click here, click here, click here, etc. So it doesn't sound like Malware or AdWare to me. It sounds to me like a "feature" which the brilliant marketers at Microsoft found a way to squirrel away into the OS somewhere and call it a "Setting" or something like that.

I went over extensions and didn't come up with anything.
It happened a few minutes ago. Just a normal looking startup page, but for MSN, with Bing search. It really doesn't affect my use of the PC, so I am reluctant to reload windows.

Does it happen every time you start chrome or just sometimes?

Sometimes it starts before I start Chrome. About an hour ago, I opened Chrome and after a minute or two it started over Chrome.

It sounds like some type of "Windows Tip" or "Notification" function. You can search for those things in the command search box, or with Cortana, then turn them off if you can find them. It might also be a News Feed setting coming from a News App.

That last wouldn't surprise me. I get so many news feeds and requests from news feeds that I no longer respond to most.
