Windows 10: Help Microsoft has hijacked Firefox and Chrome

I am on windows 10 PRO (that I paid for no less) version 1709 (Build 16299.726), the last update to my machine was KB4090007. Now no matter what I do Chrome and Firefox ( even I.E and Edge) open to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/. I have set the start page in all browsers to www.google.com, but it does not help (you see goggle start to load for split second then f'n Microsofts site comes up. I have disabled on Microsoft extensions in Firefox and Chrome still does not help. Uninstalled and re-installed Firefox to no avail. This sh$t should be illegal!! Nice way for Microsoft to make customers hate them even more!

Windows 10 - Chrome and firefox are not working

This helped me with Chrome but not with Firefox.

I opened Control Panel>Troubleshooting>Programs>Advanced, Run as Administrator and then went through the steps. My problem was the Chrome wouldn't start at all, so I went through the steps and it asks what program you're having problems with, I chose Google
Chrome, it'll go through a short diagnostic and then give you the option of Troubleshoot Program & then it gives a list of problems. I chose the first one: This program worked in earlier versions.... then click next, I clicked Windows 7, then next and it did
it's little fix. I tested and Chrome opened up just fine.

No such luck for Firefox, though.

 

Browser Hijack

My browsers (Edge, Chrome and Firefox) have been hijacked by a malware that redirects whatever searched to 'cheapred.info'. Windows Defender is unable to detect and delete the malware even after a thorough scan. I uninstalled all suspicious looking programs
but it did not help. Kindly Suggest a Solution

Altohugh my no1 is still FF, the only thing that kinda sucks is it doesnt have full 1080p 60fps support @html5 (max 720p), IE11 plays that fine np.
