Windows 10: Setup default browser

i just got a new laptop with windows 11 and I can't change the default browser from Microsoft edge to Google chrome.I open the Control panel and choose Default Programs and Apps.under the "set defaults applications" I search for google chrome and getting the screen with "APP > Default apps > Google chrome". I have found that the first line with "Make Google Chrome your default browser" is missing, so I can't choose it to be the default browser.

Unable to set default browser

• Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

Any browser.

Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

I heard elsewhere from one other user that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.
