    Windows 10 resetting default programs on restart/reboot.


    There are a couple of programs that I like to have as my default programs, my Browser (Firefox) and my media player (VLC) and I can change them to be the defaults, BUT every time I restart or reboot my computer they get changed back to the windows defaults like Microsoft Edge. How can I prevent/stop this from changing each time I reboot?


    Is there a way to make a script or batch file that runs at startup to change them back to what I want?

    :)

    Windows 10 resetting default programs on restart/reboot.

    Hi,

    The default apps are not set properly that's why you are having this issue. To set it up, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click Apps.
    • Choose Default apps.
    • Go to the right part and scroll all the way down.
    • Click on Set default by app.
    • Then choose the app that you want set as default.
    • Restart your PC.

    Let us know if you have other concerns.

    Windows 10 resetting default programs on restart/reboot.

    Well I lost my login info for
    ToonTownGuy1 and had trouble tying to reset that, so created this new account...

    anyways... that is what I have been doing....but every time I restart my pc, go to launch firefox, it says that is not my default app and when I follow what you said, all of my defaults have been reset back to the Microsoft defaults. The defaults I set only
    last for that login session... a restart/reboot removes what I set as defaults
