I've been making a Web Browser using WebView2 and I would like to make it so users can set it as their default.
It isnt recognised by Windows Settings though.
Any tips?

    Hi @Toby Winter ,
    You need to register your application as a web browser for windows to recognize it.
    You can refer to the following solution to set your own application.
