Changing Default Browser with Windows 10

Hi Claudia,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble.

1) What does it mean when you say "select Default Apps it doesn't do a thing"? Is it inaccessible or when you try to set any app as default it's not applying any changes?

I suggest you to perform the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
  
  • 
    Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    
  • 
    Click File > Run New Task
    
  • 
    Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    
  • 
    Type CMD
    
• 
  Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannnow
  

If the issue still persists, you can reset the recommend windows settings and check.

Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.
