I did that and it still was grayed out. I ended up uninstalling it and the system reverted to the old version of Edge.
Setting Edge as the default browser

I'm trying to make Edge my default browser on my tablet (Fusion 5). When I go to settings, it shows the old logo for Edge as the default browser and it's grayed out so I can't change it. What's the problem here?

Thanks for responding.

You may set the newer version of Edge as default on the browser settings itself. Open the Edge browser, click on ellipsis then choose Settings > Default browser then Make default.
I hope this helps resolve the problem.

2020-05-27T14:40:12+00:00 Is it grayed out? Is your account allowed to make any changes? If possible, it would be great if you can send us a screenshot of the problem in your settings.
