Since kb3000850 installed itself on my Dell Win8 laptop, Chrome launches with MSN every time I boot my machine, no doubt to make sure all my tracking cookies are up to date. The chrome startup settings are clean. I've found and removed the dell.msn.com url from the default page setting in my system internet settings. I've installed and run Autoruns, and can't see anything that points to chrome. Does anyone have tips for how to locate and stop this?

Your suggestion seems a good one, though I checked on Win10 and I found that the registry entry you cite is set to
1, but I don't get the problem. Maybe they changed the probing in the update from Win8. – AFH – 2016-04-29T12:59:25.463Is MSN your homepage? Are there any entries in your Startup folder? Have you checked Task Scheduler for a task that might cause this? And finally, are you on a domain and/or do you have Group Policy on your machine? – InterLinked – 2016-04-29T13:00:39.523
