If Windows 11 improves many elements of the system, it also comes with its share of problems. Microsoft is fixing them little by little.
Over the months, Windows 11 evolves and Microsoft corrects the small defects. The clock on the second screen has returned and we will soon be able to drag and drop files between applications again via the taskbar. It remains to correct another rather painful problem, the choice of the default browser.
Microsoft’s Bad Habits
We pointed it out very early on: choosing your default browser was absurdly difficult on Windows 11. Microsoft was doing absolutely everything to push the user to Microsoft Edge, their home browser, rather than letting them download an alternative. Fortunately, Microsoft has finally changed its position.
This requires downloading update 22000.593 (KB5011563) from Windows Update, currently an optional update. It incorporates a number of interesting little changes, but perhaps the best of them is the ability to choose the default browser with one click.
Choose your browser in one click
Remember that with the original version of Windows 11, you had to choose to associate your browser of choice with each type of file encountered on the web, including HTML. Now, Windows 11 includes a button to make Google Chrome, or another browser, its default browser. This button will then associate the browser with each of the file types we were talking about.
Choosing a default browser in Windows 11 still requires digging into the system settings, but at least the task is now less daunting.
