Windows 10: Default browser changes from Chrome to Edge upon restart using Windows 10

I see that this issue has been posted before but all the Windows users who were participating in the thread gave up as the instructions from the moderators became increasing complicated and unintelligible:

The post is closed now but it is from almost 2 years ago and I am still experiencing this exact problem. Wow.


In short, my issue is that every morning I boot up my PC, open Chrome, Chrome tells me it is not the default browser (despite me setting Chrome as the default browser for all applications the previous day), and I go into the Settings and make it so.


Microsoft moderators: As you can see, I already know how to use the Settings to change my default browser. Please, please do not send me instructions on how to use the Settings to change my default browser and then ask me if that solved the problem.

Windows 10 not allowing to change default browser to google chrome


I recently re-installed windows 10. Have tried every way to change default browser from Edge to Chrome, to no avail. Even changed the default by file type, HTML, Htm, to open with google chrome. Under Apps & Features, google is listed as my browser, but in Default apps-Web browser-choose default, I can click on google chrome till the cows come home and no sale. Very frustrated, have never like Edge. What is my next move? Even Apps by protocol has google chrome listed but it still won't respond.

Can't Set Chrome As Default Browser in Windows 10

Want to get the latest scoop on a Win10/Default Browser problem that's been discussed before. Google Chrome is (was?) my default browser. Recently alerted to Office updates (have Office 365). Update wasn't successful, so I let it go. Then, when I clicked
on Chrome on the desktop -- NOTHING, ZILCH. Yet Microsoft Edge loads fine. Settings/Default Apps/Web Browser showed Edge, clicked on it, selected Chrome form the icon list - fine - but when I tried to activate it from the desktop - again, NOTHING. What's
going on...?

Uninstalled/reinstalled Chrome and the desktop icon says "new_chrome" (an updated version?). It works fine and includes all the Favorites, like before. But when I go into Settings/Default Apps and click on Edge to show the other default browser choices,
Chrome is NOT listed. It's also not listed under general Apps and Features. In addition, every web site icon I have on the desktop (e.g., Amazon) is now shown with an Edge icon and opens only within the Edge browser. And when I open Chrome from the desktop,
it asks to make it default. I click to do so, the Apps list appears, but Chrome, again, is NOT shown in the Default Apps/Web Browser list. I think the Office Update screwed things up. So..... how do I make Chrome the "complete" default browser?...... which,
I guess, is another way of asking: how do I get Chrome into the Default Apps/Web Browser list? HELP.... anyone?
