“#How to Change the Default Web Browser on Windows 11”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Windows<\/p>\n

On Windows 10, changing your default browser is easy: Just a few clicks. On Windows 11, you have to make a few more changes in Settings. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

Microsoft hasn\u2019t been shy about promoting the use of its Edge browser in Windows 11. By default, Edge will open whenever you click a web link or open an HTML file. Luckily, you can change that in Settings\u2014even though Microsoft makes the process non-obvious and more difficult than you might expect.<\/p>\n

To get started, open the Settings app<\/a>. You can do this quickly by pressing Windows+i on your keyboard. Or you can open Start, search \u201cSettings,\u201d and click the Settings app icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Settings, click \u201cApps\u201d in the sidebar, then select \u201cDefault Apps\u201d in the list.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

In the search box below \u201cSet defaults for applications,\u201d type the name of the browser you\u2019d like to make the default browser in Windows 11 (for example, \u201cFirefox\u201d or \u201cChrome.\u201d) Then, click its name in the results below.<\/p>\n

\"Search<\/p>\n

On the browser\u2019s \u201cDefault Apps\u201d settings page, you\u2019ll see a list of file extensions (such as .HTM, .HTML, and .SHTML) that can potentially be associated with the browser. To change your default browser in Windows 11, you\u2019ll need to click each one of these file types and select the browser of your choice. To get started, click the app box just below \u201c.HTM.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see a pop-up window that asks you how you want to open files of that type from now on. Select the browser you want to use from the list, then click \u201cOK.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

When you click the first file type, you\u2019ll see a pop-up warning from Microsoft asking you to reconsider switching away from Microsoft\u2019s Edge browser. Click \u201cSwitch Anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

After you change the association with .HTM, repeat the steps above with .HTML, .SHTML, .XHT, .XHTML, HTTP, and HTTPS. Click each entry, then set the association to the browser of your choice. When you\u2019re done, you\u2019ll have a default apps list full of associations to the browser you want to use.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

After that, close Settings. The next time you double click an HTML file or encounter a web link, Windows will launch the browser you selected. Happy browsing!<\/p>\n
