  1. After latest Windows update, msn.com keeps popping up in my default browser. Why?


    So this is really bugging me. Mostly because I think the msn.com page is an utter crappy tabloid website that should be banished to the deeper parts of hell. But also because I don't like not having control over how my computer behaves.

    Ever since the lastest Windows update my computer wants to enter this page, triggering my default browser (in my case Firefox) to start.

    How can I find what's doing this and turn it off?

  2. Default browser settings

    Hi Jodi,

    Incorrect browser settings is one of the possible reason why you're getting a pop up message it is not set. Kindly follow these steps to set Firefox as your default browser:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select System.
    • Click Default apps.
    • Scroll down and look for Web browser. In this case, the icon will say either Microsoft Edge or Choose your default browser.
    • Choose an app screen, select Firefox to set it as the default browser.
    • Close the windows to save your changes.
    • Then restart your PC.

    We would appreciate an update about how it went.

    Default Browser Keeps Changing to Edge

    There are three other ways to set your default program. In Default apps, navigate the page to find the following:

    • Choose default apps by file type
    • Choose default apps by protocol
    • Set defaults by app

    To manually change your default browser, follow these steps:

    • Set your preferred default browser to skip Choose default apps by file type. Click
      Choose default apps by protocol then look for HTTP and HTTPS. Change them to your preferred browser.
    • After that, click Set defaults by app and wait for the new windows to load. Search your preferred browser and click it. Select
      Set this program as default and press OK.
    • Close all your browsers and check if it still asks you to set your browser.

    Let us know how it goes after doing the troubleshooting steps.

    ADS KEEP PLAYING WITH SOUND IN MSN HOMEPAGE

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.


    • Is the issue confined to only MSN homepage?

    • Which web browser are you using?
    If you are referring to IE, I suggest you to clear the cache and cookies and check if it helps.

    To clear Cookies


    • Open IE, Go to Tools -> Internet options

    • Under Browsing History, Click
      Delete.

    • In the next pop-up window, Ensure Cookies check box is checked and click on Delete.
    To clear Cache


    • Open IE, Press F12, then Ctrl + R

    • A pop-up "Are you sure you want to clear browser cache" pops up

    • Select Yes.
    Hope it helps.
