    How do I open links from Settings in default browser?


    Though my default browser is Chrome, Explorer/Edge is what links from Settings open with. How can I change it so that when I click links for more help in Settings, it uses my default browser, NOT Explorer/Edge? The reference to the links I mention are in the image attached to this post.

  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.

    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
