If you haven't tried this already, in internet explorer, go tools/internet options/General tab, and change the homepage to what you want.


Or install Firefox.

Definitely install Firefox, which brings up Firefox/Google as home page default, but is easily changed just to Google or whatever. Make sure you check the box making Firefox default broser. Failing that, use System Restore to roll back the Windows update, install Firefox as default browser, then update Windows again.

Could be your firewall that is stopping the change of Home Page...
