Being redirected to Chinese msn
This is a strange one. I started my laptop yesterday and noticed that the news feed on the taskbar was in Chinese. Clicking any of the news items brought me to msn.cn/zh-cn. Manually trying to go to msn.com redirected me to msn.cn/zh-cn. I thought it was malware on my computer, so I malware checked and deleted my cookies. There was no malware found and deleting the cookies didn't help. Then I tested all the other devices in my house. All the computers and all the phones act the same way. What's more, if I switch my phone over to AT&T towers, msn.com works normally. So, it seems obvious to me that the problem is with T-mobile. I rebooted the gateway and that didn't fix the problem. This may not be a serious problem, but, then again, maybe it is. I don't like that I'm somehow being redirected to a Chinese site. Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions concerning this?
Have they tried factory resetting the gateway? I would think that would be worth trying before requesting a replacement gateway.
Are you signed into msn.com? I don't have an account so the only setting I can change is language.
If you mean in Windows settings, my default location is showing my correct address.
Can you go into the settings and change location?
This is what I see on my taskbar newsfeed:
No, I haven’t.
Have you recently downloaded a new app?
Thanks! My son in California tells me that his is also normal. It makes me wonder if the problem is regional or a problem with the local tower. I’m in western Arkansas.
Mine is fine.
