Hey guys! Now whenever I open a new tab in Chrome or MS Edge, it shows 'Startpage'. I tried changing this in Settings after following a tutorial here: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer...rm=Desktop plus watching a YouTube video about the same thing. It does not work. I ran Malwarebytes but my scan did not find any infection. What can I do please?

Try turning off your PC in clean mode and see if it helps - make sure to follow the steps carefully and don't turn off any Microsoft services or Windows won't start at all. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help...in-windows It just stops non-Microsoft programs from starting up on its own. Very easy to undo if it doesn't work. If the problem goes away, you can restart those stopped programs one by one until you find which one is causing the issue. maybe a setting on that startup page is wrong.
