  1. Files from search result in start menu opens in browser instead of desktop app


    When searching for files, e.g. a .txt file, in the start menu and pressing it, it opens in Edge browser which makes it uneditable. How can I choose the default app when pressing "open" or "åbn" as it says in Danish?

    :)

    Windows start search - change browser and search

    Hello, is there any way to change Windows 10 start search so that instead of results opening with Edge and Bing, could be other browser and other search engine? I tried to google this and some people suggested search deflector program. I tried it, but it's not working.
