    Can't get rid of EXTREMELY ANNOYING messages to make Edge my default browser


    I spent a nice chunk of change this morning on a new laptop. I DO NOT want Edge to be my default browser. Every time I open my computer I get two messages telling my to try Edge & to make it my default browser. I've gone into settings and turned the "get tricks, tips, suggestions as you use windows" notification OFF. I am STILL getting these messages. How do you turn these off? Please advise. If this can't be fixed, I'm returning this computer and I will buy a Google Pixelbook.

    :)

    Default Browser Keeps Changing to Edge

    About a week ago, when I start my computer (from being completely shutdown) - open Outlook email and click on any link in an email, it opens in Edge. Firefox has always been my default browser. If I check my settings, it will show Edge as my default and
    I never changed it to that. If I open Firefox before clicking on any links in email, then it asks me if I'd like t make it my default and that will work only for that particular session.

    Every time the computer is shut down and restarted, Edge takes over again.

    I followed all of the steps as described by Erika above, except for the first suggestion "Set your preferred default browser to skip
    Choose default apps by file type." As I mentioned above, I do not understand what this sentence is saying.

    I just check the for windows updates, and everything is up-to-date, no updates are pending.

    I just want my default browser to stay FireFox after shutdown/restart and not have to go through half a dozen steps every time I want to start using my computer.

    I would start another thread, but my problem is the exact same problem as the original poster.
