How can I get ASK out of Windows 10?

[WPCentral Question]

I was searching for Royal Mail Tracking and inadvertently got ASK. I got rid of its tool bar and got Google back, but everytime I open a new tab, I get Ask. I want to get rid of it. It does not show up on Programs & features in control panel.

Are you using the Microsoft Edge browser, or a different browser?

In Edge, click the three dots ( ... ), choose Settings, around the middle of the menu, find the setting for OPEN WITH. It would be set to SPECIFIC PAGE OR PAGES, and ask.com below that. Change it to a website that you prefer, or else choose Start Page to get Edge's default start page, with a search bar and tiles of frequently used sites, news, etc.

In the future, Unchecky may be just what you need.
