Links from discord and facebook messenger open opera not edge. Edge is my default browser.

Hi Joey,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

To ensure that all links from apps like Discord and Facebook Messenger open in Microsoft Edge, you can follow these steps:



1. Open the Windows Settings by pressing `Win + I` on your keyboard.

2. Navigate to Apps and then to Default apps.

3. Scroll down and click on Choose default apps by protocol.

4. Locate MICROSOFT-EDGE in the list and click on the program icon to the right of it.

5. From the list, select Microsoft Edge to set it as the default for the protocol.

6. Confirm the change if prompted.



After doing this, links from Discord, Facebook Messenger, and other apps should open in Microsoft Edge by default. If you encounter any issues, make sure that Microsoft Edge is also set as the default browser for HTTP and HTTPS protocols in the same Default apps settings. If the problem persists, you might want to check if there are any specific settings within those apps that determine link handling, which might need to be adjusted as well.

Your Sincerely

Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10

Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10.

Somehow my system got infected with some malware. Due to which Edge was opening random ads in new tabs with any click on any site. After some efforts I cleaned the malware, but the malware seem to have broken edge; some edge files also got cleaned out.

Now while opening opening blue screen comes fine, just a quick flash of Edge window comes but without showing anything or allowing to do anything closes itself.

I couldn't uninstall and re-install as Edge doesn't show in programs list.

I also tried following steps as suggested by the Microsoft Virtual support agent, No issues came up with that and nothing got resolved.

• Press Windows key + X.
• Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
• In the Administrator Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
