    Hey Microsoft Community - help!I've reinstalled something from an old old laptop, only to find out it's causing my computer to be very... odd. Now, when I start my computer up, Google Chrome is force opening itself to a random YouTube page. I've deleted and uninstalled the app, ran a Malwarebytes scan nothing caught, made sure Chrome can't open at startup, etc. I also uninstalled Chrome and it forced open Microsoft Edge; a second time, asking how I'd "like to run this."I also have a weird new thing on my right-click menu:I'd really appreciate if I could get some help here! Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Cannot open youtube by IE and Edge

    Hi,

    Let's isolate the cause of the issue. Are you using an Insider Preview build on your PC? If you are using an Insider Preview build and if you are in Fast Ring, we suggest that you update your computer to the new build 15031 and check if the issue persists.

    We also recommend that you disable the VPN and Proxifier on your computer and check if you can access YouTube.

    If the issue persists, let's use a new InPrivate window to access Youtube. To open a new InPrivate window in Edge, follow the steps below:

    • Open Edge.
    • Click on the three dots icon on the upper-right part of the screen.
    • Click New InPrivate window.

    Keep us updated with the results.

    Change Startup Page in Microsoft Edge  


    Thank you Brink,

    Appreciate your welcome and your prompt response - I have appreciated your advice on this forum in the past, especially with the registry fix for choosing where to save downloaded files from Edge!

    I have checked my Edge settings, and they are as follows:
    • Open Microsoft Edge with new tab page
    • Open new tabs with a blank page

    So I can't see any reference to MSN here... it even diverts via this URL if you click on a saved favourite site!

    Glad of any further advice or suggestions please.
