Lord, I cannot believe I am answering this question since I am not a computer expert.
I would go to the “tools” bar at the top of your page, and go the bottom that says, “Internet options”. Once you are there, the first box will have your home page address listed. If you want to change, simply type in the wanted address and save as default. That should hopefully work for you.
Best of luck.
I hope this works for you.
