Bug Report - "Continue on PC" in Edge Mobile does not open the default web browser on Windows pc

Bug Report

When sending a web page from the Edge mobile app to the Windows PC, the web page should open in the default browser set in Windows 10.

 

However when the Windows pc has both Edge & Edge Beta browsers installed, and Edge Beta is set in Windows as the default browser, the webpage sent via "Continue on PC" is not opened in Edge Beta, but in Edge. This is a bug, or at least it is undesirable behavior.

      In settings, choose default apps by protocol, search for "edge" and change all of them to "edge beta". Seemed to fix the problem 😉

    Actually i don't know if it's a bug or not, but maybe (i say maybe) there is a way to force it
