I have changed my browser to "Default" in the advanced settings. Microsoft Edge still opens, how do I change the default to be Google. I don't use Edge at all on any other application. Please help, it is very annoying to have to copy and paste links into google.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Settings

    To make links open in Google Chrome instead of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, set Chrome as the default browser in Windows settings.

    1. Open Settings on Windows.
    2. Select Apps > Default apps.
    3. Scroll to Web browser (or use Set defaults for applications).
    4. Select the current browser (likely Microsoft Edge) and choose Google Chrome.

    Alternatively, using the app-based view:

    1. In Settings > Apps > Default apps, under Set defaults for applications, select Google Chrome.
    2. For Make Google Chrome your default browser, select the option to set it as default for supported file types and link types.

    After this, links from other applications should open in Chrome instead of Edge.

    Hi! Let me help you.

    Please follow the steps below;

    Open Settings > Apps > Default apps.

    Search for HTTP and HTTPS.

    Make sure both are assigned to Google Chrome.
