In Windows 10, the default web browser is Microsoft Edge. However, users can choose to use another web browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera, as their default browser. Here’s how you can change the default browser in Windows 10.
1. Open the Start menu and type “default app” into the search bar. Select “Choose default apps by file type” as the result.
2. In the “Choose Default Apps” window, scroll down until you find the “Web Browser” entry. Click the current browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge) to open up a list of installed browsers.
3. Select the web browser that you would like to use as the default browser. The new browser will now be set as the default for all web activities.
4. To confirm the change, switch back to the “Choose Default Apps” window and ensure that the correct browser has been selected for the “Web Browser” field.
You can also change the default browser in Windows 10 using the Settings app. To do so:
1. Open the Settings app from the Start menu or by searching for “Settings” in the search bar.
2. Select “System” from the Settings window.
3. From the left sidebar, select “Default Apps”.
4. Scroll down until you find the “Web Browser” entry. Click the browser that you would like to use as the default browser.
5. To confirm the change, switch back to the “Choose Default Apps” window and ensure that the correct browser has been selected for the “Web Browser” field.
After completing these steps, the selected browser will be the default browser for all web activities. It’s also worth noting that you can repeat these steps to change the default browser whenever necessary.
