Hi I've used CCleaner for years and wouldn't be without it, however having constant problems trying to remove MSN news feed on start-up using Firefox and Win 10.
I've found quite a few results via Google of others having the same problem but still can't get rid of it despite constantly removing all IE entries on CCleaner.
Has anyone solved this problem as I'd be very glad indeed to get rid of it once and for all....
Thanks
It's not clear just what you are asking here?
Do you want to keep MSN news feeds or remove them? (or change the options?).
Are you using FireFox or IE? (or both?).
"constantly removing all IE entries on CCleaner." will have no effect on FireFox.
And neither FFx or IE cleaning will have any effect on the MSN news feed app.
Can you not just remove/uninstall the MSN app if you don't want it?
(One of the first things I did with win 10 was remove the news and weather apps, etc).
Or are you saying that the MSN news comes up as your browser homepage? (although thats usually Edge browser not FFx or IE).
In that case just change your homepage setting.

Thanks, as I said trying to remove the MSN news feed on start up....
Just Firefox, not IE.
Not a techie but when I first bought Win 10 I installed the classic shell and removed Edge and had no problems for a while until MSN started appearing which I thought had been removed earlier. I've also checked the start-up Task Manager but there's nothing in there either, also Firefox has always been set as my home page.
I've seen your last link about the three dots in the top right hand corner but can't find the page for some reason ?

That will be because that article is for the Edge browser not Firefox, I included it because I wasn't sure which browser you were actually using.
I'm still not sure here just what is happening - Is MSN loading into its own window on startup?
Or is it loading into a Firefox tab when you open Firefox?
If MSN is loading into its own window on startup then you need to turn it off, or remove/uninstall the app.
See the link I gave above to the howtogeek article on how to uninstall it.
Read the full article, you may not be able to uninstall it in the normal way, you may need to use powershell to uninstall the app.
If however it is loading into a Firefox tab then lets see if we can work out why.
In firefox go to settings - (the little cogwheel or click 'Options' in the Tools menu), and then select 'General'.
Iit will show how you have set FFx to start and should have 3 options-
It will also show just what url (webpage) your homepage is set to load if 'Show my Homepage' has been selected.
Unless you have MSN set as your homepage url; or have 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' set, then it is not Firefox that is loading MSN.
Please try the above and report what FFx start settings you have.
(I have to go out for a while, will be back later).
