Windows 10: MSN.COM Browser homepage

Looks like the msn.com browser has a new format but when I use secret mode it has the old format. I like the old version better. How can I change my msn.com homepage to the old format? And, when and why was it changed?

MSN Homepage redirects to a random page after signing out of Outlook.com

When I log out of my email on Outlook.com, it goes to my home country MSN homepage. That is all good and it hasn't caused any issues until last month when I noted the MSN homepage automatically redirects to some 'random' rewards page (the 'redirected' page
differs but broadly has the same content about going into a survey to win a prize) One URL is "exclusiverewards38.online" - but there are many others. It's like a pop-up blocker, but takes over the whole tab. You can't use the back-tab - all you can do
is close the tab.

Please note the following
BEFORE replying:

1. This ONLY
   effects MSN homepage - no other page redirects like this. So clearly it is an MSN issue
2. I have used multiple browsers - same result on all browsers (so this is interdependent of the browser)
3. I have used multiple computers - same result on all computers (so this is interdependent of the computer)
4. I have used different Wifi networks - same result on all Wifi networks (so this is interdependent of the Wifi networks)

Furthermore,

1. I have used various malware/virus programs to 'clean' my computers. No change.
2. I have pop-blockers installed - but that doesn't help

Based on the above, the only conclusion is that there is a script embedded within the MSN homepage that
forces this redirection. I think that is poor practice as it is effectively taking over control of my computer. I am close to changing MSN as email provider due to this. One possible
solution is to redirect the signout page from Outlook.com to something other than MSN. Any other options?

Any real suggestions welcomed. If you can only offer corporate speak from Microsoft, please move on.

Regards

Paul
