    I have always had Google news as my home page on IE 11. Something has changed this. I have gone to >tools>internet options>general tab>homepage and entered http://news.google.com > selected use current>apply>ok. I've done this several times. Yet when I reopen IE11 it continues to open with a Bing page. Anyone. Any thoughts?

    Are you doing BOTH - adding the google URL AND clicking the use current?

    The "Use Current" means -> use the page you're on now... Which are you on when you click that?

    And if you close your browser and reopen it does it goes to Bing?

    If so, I was here a long time ago.... I searched the registry for the wrong address and replaced it with the one I wanted.

    Have you checked for Malware/Spyware or a Virus?
