Check Chrome options, see if more than one Home page is defined (the page that loads when you start Chrome).

Hi,

 

Thanks for your response. I only have one homepage set (www.hotmail.com). 

 

When I open the browser normally, only the homepage opens, so there isn't an issue there.

 

The issue occurs when I click a link from an email in Outlook.

Hey there Awesomesauce. Did you ever find out what was causing this? Mine is doing the same thing and you're one of the few I've found that looks exactly like what mine is doing. Thanks, John

Hi John, no fix found yet. I've just ignored it, it's more annoying than anything. If you find an answer, please let me know. Thanks, AS
