Windows 10: How to stop desktop apps from being used over the browser?

So I don’t know if this is something in the Windows options or the teamspeak options and I apologize if it’s the latter, but I clicked a Twitter link in a teamspeak chat and instead of opening the link in chrome, a separate window of a desktop twitter app (that I had never seen before) opened. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I don’t want any Microsoft desktop apps to open and I really don’t understand why anyone would want that instead of links just opening in the browser (that was open at the time). Thanks in advance

Start menu / desktop not using default browser

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Windows 10 sets Microsoft Edge as the default browser for opening web links.

You can change the default web browser by following the below steps:

• From the desktop press Windows flag key +R and type control and click ok.
• This will open control panel, select default program and select set default program and choose the web browser of your choice.
