Hey guys, whenever I open a new tab in Chrome or MS Edge it’s showing 'Startpage'. I’ve tried changing it in Settings using this tutorial: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer...rm=Desktop, but the video on YouTube also says the same thing. I ran Malwarebytes, but the scan didn’t find anything. What should I do next?

Try a clean boot and observe if it alters the outcome — follow the guidelines carefully and ensure no Microsoft services are disabled or Windows won’t load properly.
This process doesn’t remove files, just halts non-Microsoft applications during startup. It’s straightforward: if it resolves the issue, the problem is likely a startup program. You should restart the stopped programs one by one to pinpoint the culprit.
It might be due to a startup program configuration that’s interfering.
