I cant open any url link when i set microsoft edge as my default browser.

but when i change the HTTP and HTTPS default program to google chrome, there is no problem. i want to use edge instead of chrome because its better for my workflow. thankyou very much! i saw other posts about this problem. the solution seems to be that i need to uninstall and then reinstall edge. but in my windows 11 version, i cant uninstall edge.

    Hi! Often, URL opening issues are caused by misconfigured or corrupted default-handling configurations. Resetting your default app associations for HTTP and HTTPS may resolve the issue:

    1. Open Settings > Apps > Default apps.

    Search for and select Microsoft Edge.

    Under HTTP and HTTPS, ensure Edge is properly assigned.

    Alternatively, scroll to the bottom and click Reset all defaults to revert to Microsoft’s recommended default apps.
