Restore new tab to tiles
Somehow when I click to open a new tab. It opens to this website; http://search.hmyquickconverter.com/?uid=69ef617c-698a-4f07-b0b1-01fb091aee09&uc=20171011&ap=appfocus1&source=d-bb8&page=newtab&implementation_id=converter_4.1.3.
I want to go back to the tiles of frequently visited sites. I've read the instructions to reset it, but it says to open a new tile an click the cog wheel. The only cog wheel I have is under the menu.
I would appreciate your help with what I'm sure is a simple fix.

Hi ! That search.hmyquickconverter.com is a browser hijacker, that you will of course want to get rid of. Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g. :
• SafeSearch Incognito • SearchAssist Incognito • File Convertor and Search Addon
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
