Before sending me any more logs, see if this might fix the issue on any or all computers.

If there are multiple browser profiles, you'll need to log in to each profile in the respective browser.

For Edge, paste edge://settings/searchEngines into the address bar.
Delete any search engine that's not Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo
Same thing for Chrome but paste chrome://settings/searchEngines

without being ignorant: How can I access the logs?

Thanks,

Provide the logs from one of the computers so I can see what is happening, and possibly provide a fix that can be used on all the computers..

Please run a scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and I'll help you fix it.

Note: If you are using Edge, SmartScreen may initially block the download.

Click on the three dots next to the warning and select Keep => Show more => Keep anyway.

If your computer's language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe

Run the tool, leave the default settings, and press Scan.

Zip the logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, then upload to a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive or gofile.io

Post the share link.

Sorry, I did not stated that this is happening in all (5) computers in this "home" network.

Please advise.

Regards,

Will
