- In the Windows 10 operating system -
- Select the Start button and find the search box (the search box may also be located next to the Start button and is represented by a magnifying glass).
- In the search box, type Default apps.
- Select "Default app settings" from the list that comes up.
- In the "Default apps" window, click the item under Web browser and choose a browser from the list (do not leave Internet Explorer as the default - choose Microsoft Edge as an alternative)
