Fix a null page??

[w1che]

Here is a good one on me. When I log on the first page I see is this one..
http://go.microsoft.com(null).. It says this page can not be displayed but if I click past that page everything is normal.. It goes to my home page and all is well.. I can't make heads or tails out of what I see on line about Null.. Any idea's on what I can do about this.. Thanks for anything you can do for me..

w1che, where did you get that web address from? I just tried it on IE11, and it doesn't take me anywhere. I don't get a NULL message though, it just sits there.
EDIT Also tried with a different browser, same result.

That link came off the page I get.. It comes up before I can go to my home page.. while that page is up I can click on a book mark & it will go there like nothing is wrong. does that help you ..

I know from your previous posts that you are using Windows 10, and having issues with it. I'm not using Windows 10 so I'm not familiar with it. What browser are you using, and have you tried changing your home page just to see if that gets rid of that null page?

[w1che]

Running IE 11 No I haven't but will change my home page see if that works.. Next time I boot up.. I will get back to you..

Windows 10 has two instances of IE built in. One is called Microsoft Edge and is the default for Windows 10, it has a icon located on the bottom taskbar.

The other is IE 11, which you have to find and put a shortcut on desktop or pin to taskbar, depending on your preference.

It is located:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

As suggested you need to change your home page and that will take care of the problem.

For EDGE:

1. Select More (…) on the address bar, then Settings.
   
2. Select View advanced settings.
   
3. Turn on Show the home button.
   
4. Enter the URL of your home page and select Save.

For IE 11:

Tools>Internet Options>General

It is not a valid format. http://go.microsoft.com works.

Windows 10 has two instances of IE built in. One is called Microsoft Edge...the other is IE 11.

Did you mean to say "instances of IE built in"? That is not true. Edge is totally different from IE and not related at all. Both are browsers and both use Bing as their default search engines, but beyond that, they are totally separate and independent. Edge is not even based on IE code.

What happens if you go to the address bar in Internet Explorer, and clear out what's in there, and then type in google.com, and then hit enter on your keyboard?

[w1che]

It took me to Google.. What was that looking for??

[IPR512]

I just wanted to see what would happen. So that time you didn't get that null page, right?

[w1che]
