Thanks man.....im gonna try the registry edit first.....if that dont work....which it should...im gonna uninstall every version of IE like you posted in the video.........But my question is...Why would it be locked or changes not taking affect...it is due to a update..or it that common for IE11...

I'm not sure why the changes fail. If I were working on this computer, I would run Process Monitor to see what actions occur (or fail to occur) when the home page info is written to that registry key. I would compare the info to a computer that works as expected.

i tryed to manually edit the registry and...still no go....im able to input a different URL....in the registry data box....but if i double click on that start page in the registry again to see if my URL i inputed stayed...it reverted back to MSN.com...so at this point...if editing the registry didnt work,might be something more going on....thats preventing this change

You could try to find the app that is changing the value back via clean boot:

The clean boot tutorial can help you find the app causing the issue, You will probably re-install the offending app after the new OS build, so we can do the clean boot steps then
