    Can't change preferred default browser after Windows 10 update


    Hi, so I installed the new update because the dumb popups started playing on my nerves, after I did that the system opened up with Edge browser. So I close that crap as fast as I can and then I notice that all my default programs have been changed to Windows ones, I changed all of them but the browser. I have multiple internet browser installed on my PC and in the settings I can't choose the one I want. It's just Edge, some other browser and Windows Store [Can't even choose IE!]. Why would you do this Microsoft, I won't use that shitty browser especially now after switch to Chromium.

    Default Browser Keeps Changing to Edge

    There are three other ways to set your default program. In Default apps, navigate the page to find the following:

    • Choose default apps by file type
    • Choose default apps by protocol
    • Set defaults by app

    To manually change your default browser, follow these steps:

    • Set your preferred default browser to skip Choose default apps by file type. Click
      Choose default apps by protocol then look for HTTP and HTTPS. Change them to your preferred browser.
    • After that, click Set defaults by app and wait for the new windows to load. Search your preferred browser and click it. Select
      Set this program as default and press OK.
    • Close all your browsers and check if it still asks you to set your browser.

    Let us know how it goes after doing the troubleshooting steps.

    Changing default browser

    Hi Brian M

    to change the default browser first install your preferred browser then go to settings -> Apps -> Default apps

    under web browser, click on the current default and select your preferred browser from the list.

    Can't change preferred default browser after Windows 10 update

    Default Browser Keeps Changing to Edge

    Hi Athena,

    Edge is the built-in browser recommended on Windows 10. The option to change the default browser to your preferred browser are as follows:

    • Type Settings in Cortana search, then press
      Enter.
    • Click System, then select Default apps.
    • Under the Choose default apps, click Web browser and then select your preferred browser.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
