Windows 10: Defaults Broswer?

Whenever I reboot my computer and when Windows updates, my Default Browser returns to Microsoft Edge from Google Chrome. I also lose my Settings e.g. Display Settings. When I return to Google Chrome and set it as Default, it will remain as Default until I turn the computer off/on again. Also, when I return to Google Chrome, all my Chrome History is lost! This has been happening for a few months and is become more and more irritating.

I have several computers all set to the same Defaults, however, this problem described above only happens with one of them!

Any advice, please?

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
