How to make Edge Dev as the default browser in Microsoft 10?

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to make Microsoft Edge Dev my default browser? Every time I try to change it through Windows 10 "default app" settings, the settings window keeps crashing and nothing changes. Any idea how to solve it?
Thank you!

  • Hi Majid666 

    Interesting question , but such a setting for Edge Dev. does not seem possible in the stable version of Windows, but I will wait for other opinions 🙂

    Hi, You should be able to make it your default browser under the Edge settings page under Default Browser. Jeff

      I tried but the problem is that when I click on the "Make default" button in the Edge Dev browser settings (pic 1) it then redirects me to the same "default app" settings window (pic 2) where I need to add it manually - at which point the settings window will crash as soon as I try to add a new browser.

        Hi,
        Sorry about that, I am running Windows 11 not Windows 10. In Windows 11 it works directly from the browser and does not go through Windows settings.

      I'm sorry, Jeff, but it doesn't work that way in Windows 10 Pro.
