  1. How to set Google Chrome browser as default - Microsoft has it blocked ???


    I made mistake of setting Edge as default - and really don't like it. Not an improvement from when it first came out. Trying to set Google Chrome back as the default. But it won 't come up as a selection in the apps. Seems microsoft may be blocking this? Trying to force use of Edge? Please help. I don't want to deal with Edge. Wish Microsoft would leave our free choice.

    :)
