    How to prevent Microsoft ignoring a default browser settings?


    Microsoft is so eager to propagate its Edge that it even ignores a setting for a default browser. I use Chrome but many MS apps opens Edge instead. For example Bing Wallpaper. But there are many more, which open a link in Edge ignoring the settings. This is not a bug, this is an intention. Is there any secret settings which tells Microsoft apps to use the default browser?

    :)
