    OK. It's occurring at www.msn.com 

    1. Does it occur in Edge and Chrome and Firefox?
    2. Does it occur in all 3 browsers in Private/Incognito mode?
    3. Are you running third-party antivirus/security or are you using Microsoft Defender?

    Don,

    1. I have not tried another source. I copied the following link from one of the articles that I did get a proper reply from yesterday.

    Video captures the moment Rep.-elect George Santos appeared to not hear his name multiple times before he responded during McCarthy's 5th failed speaker vote (msn.com)

    I am not able to find the article that gave me the original coded message.

    1. I am using Micro Soft Edge and I have not tried other browsers. I must admit, that if I switch browsers, I will not return to Micro Soft Edge.
    2. My antivirus package is BitFender. If this is not compatible with Micro Soft Edge, then I would like to know so I can change Browsers.

    How often does this happen? If this doesn't happen every time or nearly every time, it will be difficult to troubleshoot.

    Are you seeing what's in the screenshot here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/newmsn/forum/all/when-using-microsoft-start-and-someone-is-replying/bbd69c4d-cd59-46c4-b05c-748a3a985312

    Meaning that the comments aren't in HTML code but something on the page is.

    Don,

    There was no screen shot in your reply, but the link did take me to the page this topic is being discussed.

    I understand the difficulty in troubleshooting an intermittent fault, because I have faced similar challenges in my career. I was not able to find a solution until I had enough information to identify the root cause. Frustrating. isn't it. If I can help in anyway narrow this down, I will help. In the meantime, I will continue with my current actions and note which posts are triggering this type of coded response.
