How To Change Browser Default to Chrome?

Summary

By default, Microsoft Edge will open up when an application that requires the browser. Not all applications work well with Microsoft Edge, so changing the default settings will make it easier instead of manually searching for another browser such as Chrome.

Instructions

1. Ensure Chrome is installed first before changing the default settings. You can look at your desktop or type in the search field for "Chrome."

2. Select the Windows Start button in the lower-left of the screen or the search field and type "Default." Select Default Apps.

3. Scroll towards the bottom of the Window and click on Microsoft Edge. If you see Chrome already there, no further action is needed.

4. You should see options to select your browser, click on Google Chrome. If you don't see Chrome as an option, create an incident to have it installed.

5. Windows will normally prompt you to stay with Microsoft Edge. Ignore the message and click on "Switch Anyway." You're done! From this point forward, your browser will open up with Chrome. You can still access Microsoft Edge through the Windows Start under Standard Apps.
