The default app settings for "http" and "https" are not being saved; after rebooting or logging off, the settings disappear.

Question

The default app settings for "http" and "https" are not being saved; after rebooting or logging off, the settings disappear, and the user has to set the default browser again. We have GPOs and SCCM clients in our environment. I have thoroughly reviewed all GPOs, SCCM client settings, and application deployment settings, and nothing could be causing the issue of overwriting the default app settings for "http" and "https." - OS Version 23H2 (Bulid 22631.3737) I have attempted every solution available online to resolve the issue, but with no success:

1. I tried using the Default Association GPO, but it had no positive effect.
2. I attempted registry modification via GPO, but it did not work either. When I manually change the following setting, it works, but it gets overwritten after a reboot: "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice ProgId to MSEdgeHTM." After being overwritten, it looks like this: ProgId -- AppXq0fevzme2pys62n3e0fbqa7peapykr8v. I used a process monitoring tool and discovered that Microsoft Edge is overwriting these values. Does anyone have a solution for this?
