A new survey says Windows 11 makes it too difficult to switch default browsers. Users report resets, prompts, and apps opening in Edge despite choosing something else.
At work no matter how many times I set the default browser to something else it will always open Edge when I click on a link through any other program. Error messages, emails, and a host many Windows files will always open in Edge even after I’ve changed it and it’s infuriating.
Oh, no, you have to go into Teams and Outlook and any other Microsoft product and go into their settings pages and under the Advanced section, find the however many sections that they have set up and convert them from force redirecting to Edge to choose instead to go to your default browser.
And also, you have to tell it to open Excel spreadsheets in Excel and Word documents in Word instead of having them open in Edge or your default browser for some fucking reason.
