    update reverts default browser and other hijinx


    so, I got a friend whose computer is essentially a brick right now in terms of capability, I'm posting on her behalf.

    her computer received update version:1903 build:18362.295 and now its changing her default programs back to microsoft defaults, it erased her preferences for starwars, her passwords are gone, and I have no idea how to help her.

    :)

  2. 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.
