  1. Win updates seems to set my Edge browser back to default settings?


    It's appearing as it when this win 11 updates, maybe not every update, not sure, then some, maybe all, of the settings I've changed in Edge revert back. For instance. I set Copilot to OFF and after an Windows update it's back, and same with other settings. Is this normal?

    :)

  3. Default browser settings

    Hi Jodi,

    Incorrect browser settings is one of the possible reason why you're getting a pop up message it is not set. Kindly follow these steps to set Firefox as your default browser:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Select System.
    • Click Default apps.
    • Scroll down and look for Web browser. In this case, the icon will say either Microsoft Edge or Choose your default browser.
    • Choose an app screen, select Firefox to set it as the default browser.
    • Close the windows to save your changes.
    • Then restart your PC.

    We would appreciate an update about how it went.

    Unable to set default 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.
