Opening chrome causes default app settings to open each and every time.

Hello Todd,

Good day! I'm John and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

Since this affected 600 systems, I assume you are in an organization. I recommend reporting the issue through the Feedback Hub app to notify Microsoft.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sen...

You can use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the problematic update. Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates. Run the troubleshooter then please try to hide problematic update that will show in the list. You may try restarting your pc if it helps.

I have feedback hub disabled in group policy. I'm mainly interested if other's are having the issue. Too late to hide updates, they've all been pushed. The issue was not noticed immediately unfortunately. I will probably have to use wusa.exe to remove this month's cumulative update. The update itself is not uninstallable in WSUS. This may buy me a month to figure this out. We are a google oriented business and chrome is our go to. I have pushed many settings affecting the defaults on Windows. That shouldn't get in the way, never has until this update. When I open Edge, the default apps settings does not open. When I open Brave, the default apps settings does not open. Only when I open chrome.

Anyone else seeing this issue?
