Microsoft began testing this button in an Insider built last December, and while we\u2019re not sure why it took so long to reach regular customers, we\u2019re just happy it\u2019s here. (Oddly enough, Microsoft didn\u2019t even announce the change in its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/march-28-2022-kb5011563-os-build-22000-593-preview-40df54c9-b5a9-42e5-ae1c-9a33ff91ca91\">Windows release notes<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just one complaint on our end. Microsoft made it easier to set a default browser, but setting other default apps is still a pain. You can\u2019t make VLC your default video player without digging through settings, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Microsoft is still locking down its custom URIs. These weblinks hide all over the Windows operating system\u2014they\u2019re in default apps, widgets, and settings. Unfortunately, they open in Edge by default, and you can\u2019t change that behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Once you install the\u00a0latest Windows 11 update (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/march-28-2022-kb5011563-os-build-22000-593-preview-40df54c9-b5a9-42e5-ae1c-9a33ff91ca91\">22000.593<\/a>), you can set a default browser by opening Settings, navigating to \u201cApps,\u201d and selecting \u201cDefault Apps.\u201d Note that this is an optional update, and its contents will probably be included in the mandatory update coming mid-April.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Windows11\/comments\/tqp099\/you_can_finally_make_default_browser_with_one\/\">u\/PrincePJamie<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
