    Why my default browser using so much CPU without opening it.


    This happens to my previous browser firefox too. I think it's coming with the default browser. When I start windows browser autoruns and using so much CPU. Any solution to this?

    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.

    Installing Flash opens Chrome instead of default browser

    I use IE, Edge and Firefox, with IE as default browser. Edge/IE of course get Flash through Windows Update but periodically I have to install Flash for Firefox. I can confirm that the expected behaviour of the Flash installer is, on completion, to open your default browser at a page saying...
    This is just an advert, not a necessary step in the install, but it is labelled as 'Step 3 of 3'. Steps 1 and 2 were seen in Firefox, the browser I started the install from, as the first two steps in installing/updating Flash. The install requires the browser to be restarted to be complete, so it opens the 'Step 3' page itself in the default browser. It has always amused me that it opens IE and not the Firefox I was installing it for.

    I don't have Chrome, so can't test the behaviour described, but I have never seen anything other than my default browser open. I've just tested reinstalling Flash in Firefox, only IE opened on completion.

    Why my default browser using so much CPU without opening it.

    Cannot set default web browser

    Hi,

    My name is Mohammed Shuain, an Independent Advisor & I understand from the description that you want to make the Chrome browser as your default browser. Please follow the below steps.

    Step 1:

    Go to Search box next to Windows icon and type Default app Settings

    Step 2:

    Click to open Default app Settings

    Step 3:

    Under choose, default apps scroll down to see the Web browser

    Step 4:

    Click on the Browser shown to get the default browsers list to select from

    Step 5:

    Select Google Chrome

    Regards

    Shuaib
