  1. i change my default browser but it does not work


    hi


    i change my default browser to chrome and it was done.

    but whenever i click on a link or windows want to open a web page, it use opera for it. i need to use opera in some of my projects and i can't delete it for fixing this problem.


    i tried to changing my default browser to other browsers; but it does not help and windows always use opera no matter what i selected for my default browser.


    any help for this problem? does opera have an illegal access to my windows setting??


    by the way i always use windows 10 latest version.


    thank you for read my problem and care about it

    :)

    Default Browser Keeps Changing to Edge

    There are three other ways to set your default program. In Default apps, navigate the page to find the following:

    • Choose default apps by file type
    • Choose default apps by protocol
    • Set defaults by app

    To manually change your default browser, follow these steps:

    • Set your preferred default browser to skip Choose default apps by file type. Click
      Choose default apps by protocol then look for HTTP and HTTPS. Change them to your preferred browser.
    • After that, click Set defaults by app and wait for the new windows to load. Search your preferred browser and click it. Select
      Set this program as default and press OK.
    • Close all your browsers and check if it still asks you to set your browser.

    Let us know how it goes after doing the troubleshooting steps.

    default browser not working

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    Regret the inconvenience you have experienced.

    Is this happening while opening website shortcut or URL link?

    Is this only happening with browser? How about the other file formats?

    With your description, we tried to reproduce the issue and noticed that everything is working fine. Click
    Reset in the Default apps page. Now this will bring back the
    Microsoft Edge as default browser. Reboot your PC, then go back to
    Default apps page and then try to change it to
    Google Chrome
    and see if it works fine.

    Note: By clicking Reset will reset all
    Default programs to Microsoft recommended defaults.

    Suggest you try with the below mentioned troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    * Click Start,

    * TypeDefault Programs and select theDefault Programs from the list

    * Click Set Default Programs
    and select thedesired app or Browser from the program list

    * Click on Set this program as default
    or you can also use the option Choose default for this program
    to select the files manually which should use this app.

    Keep us posted if you require further assistance.
