A simple registry fix, fixed this. In "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome" change the setting for "DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled" to 0 This was answered by _AW in the community here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/opening-chrome-causes-default-app-settings-to-open/bd17351b-0f46-4265-8f9f-d83228d149ad
2023-04 Cumulative update causes -> Opening chrome causes default app settings to open each and every time.
Opening chrome causes default app settings to open each and every time. After today's cumulative update for Windows 10 and 11, 2023-04, every time I open Chrome the default app settings of windows will open. I've tried many ways to resolve this without luck. This is happening to all 600 systems with the update. Removing the update makes the issue go away. Anyone else having this issue? This does not occur when opening edge or brave browser, only chrome for us.
