We are now using Microsoft Intune to manage our Windows devices and mobile devices. How can I set Google chrome as Default Browser to all our Windows devices? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @albert TJ

    as far as I remember you can create a Chrome Configuration Profile to set this.
    https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/12129062?hl=en#zippy=

    If you use profiles users can probably not change back to another browser as default browser.

    Another method is to use the ApplicationDefaults Policy:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-applicationdefaults
    In this case, you can create an assignment within Windows if Chrome is to be used. In this way, users can also change the default browser back to another browser.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    We can use settings catalog to set Google chrome as default browser in Intune. Here are some guides for your reference:

    Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.
