My computer randomly changed its search engine to Yahoo. I can not change it back to Google. Google doesn't show as an option, and I don't have the option to add it. Does anyone have a suggestion? I've searched for hours and tried a ton of different suggestions, but maybe all I need is an Aggie to tell me how to fix it.

The easiest thing to try: Settings > Reset Settings > Restore settings to their original defaults

Thank you! That worked.

I like Chrome since we use the Google suite a lot for work but this drives me nuts. Every single time they put out a Chrome update it changes the search engine to Yahoo and I have to go in and switch it back. Kinda odd that they move you off of Google Chrome and onto Yahoo. It's happened to me 7-8 times.

It sounds like you've got a rogue extension installed or something that is switching it back to Yahoo.

Yes, because it does it every few weeks. I wish I could figure it out. My startup pages also change sometimes.
