Hello and welcome to Eight Forums ,not sure what you mean ,

is it that you don't want the new pages to open in Chrome ,but another browser , if that is the case then you need to make that browser the default browser .

if that's not what you mean please explain you issue in a little more detail ,thanks

thank you caperjack. Don't want the new pages to open at all-interrupts what I may be doing. Example-when I am keying an e-mail, any page may open or re-open, or gmail will refresh or ?? None of that is wanted-strictly "on it's on so to speak". As far as I can tell it is no particularl key that is causing the activity. Really an aggravation

Almost new computer and this activity not present for the first week or two. Then it began and is intermittent. No way at this point I can tell what downloaded program was perhaps the culprit

thanks again for the reply. An a long time user of Malwarebytes pro, no neg results in scan. Is a mystery

have you tried a different keyboard, if not it might be a good idea to try one

have and is the same on multiple keyboards. Windows 8.1 still new to me, but have found nothing to assist. In older system have used MS sfc, need to see if it works on 8.1
