Default Browser Confusion

Question

Hi,

I am having some confusion with my default browser setting.

In Default Apps, I have set my default browser to Google Chrome. Under "Choose default apps by file type", I have set Google Chrome to open .htm and .html files. Under "Choose default apps by protocol", I have chosen Google Chrome for http and https.

Still, when I receive an email with a link like http://microsoft.com and I click on it, the site opens in Microsoft Edge. If anyone can suggest why this would not open in Chrome, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi kraemerpw,

Thank you for Posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you need help with Default Browser in your pc.

Let's work together to get this sorted out.

Can you check on Windows settings by pressing windows key then type settings > select apps

Select default apps then select the browser and make sure the browser that you wanted is selected.

Let me know how it goes.

Best Regards,
