about:blank

[LogicRules]

I had a link to 'about:blank' in my Favorites prior to
installing MSAS but it is gone now. No popups, no adware,
just a way to type a URL. It was my main avenue of
launching a URL from the keyboard.
How can I get it back, and keep it?
TIA

Here's something to try:

Tools, Internet Options

In the Home Page panel, choose Use Blank.

Hit OK. Tell Microsoft Antispyware to allow the change.

Hit the button to take you to the home page.
Do Favorites, add to favorites.

Now reset your home page to the desired setting.
