      Is there a way to do this without going on settings because on my normal acc it lets me on chrome but my school acc has a yahoo browser and the admin blocked settings

      This did not work because the page you went to does not exist on my computer. I have a one month old Asus laptop with Windows 10. It was a nightmare just getting chrome installed on my computer. It appears that microsoft deliberately configures windows ten to consider all browsers other than edge as malware. Then it was a second nightmare trying to change my home page from bing to Google. Then for a while it kept changing my home page back to bing. Now it prevents me from changing from Yahoo to Google. Google needs to come up with a page you can go to where yo press a button and it permanently makes chrome your browser and Google your home page and locks out all others from changing. I've spent a very frustrating several hours with no success trying to change my home page back to chrome. According to the attorney general's office in my state, it is a felony to highjack a computer. Anyone have a phone number and legal address for Yahoo so I can include that in my police report?
      Yes I am fed up and I am taking legal action

    Thank you so much for this video. I have this link written down so I can find you when I need you. You are definitely my go-to when Yahoo invades my computer on a semi-regular basis. I don't understand why it keeps happening though. The scans never find anything, there's never any extensions I didn't put on. It's a mystery. Is it normal that after I follow your instructions I am signed out of everything? FB, Yahoo, etc. Small price to pay but it keeps me on my toes remembering passwords. Lol
