Make Edge Beta Default
MicrosoftRazaanKhoja We are working on documenting the flow to set Edge Beta as default browser for Windows 10 this week and will provide an update once it is available.
In the meantime, here's information on using DISM to set default app associations on Windows 10 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/dism-default-application-association-servicing-command-line-options
Shilpa_Subramanian RazaanKhoja the DISM-Method only works for fresh/new User-Profiles, not for already existing UserProfiles. Configuring Default-Applications is a sad story in Win10.
But: There is a really cool tool out there, named "SetUserFTA" and "SetDefaultBrowser", it's provided by Christoph Kolbicz - using this Information you can bing it easily 🙂
you likely want to execute:
SetDefaultBrowser.exe HKLM "Microsoft Edge Beta"or modify just single protocols like:
SetUserFTA.exe http, MSEdgeBHTML
SetUserFTA.exe https, MSEdgeBHTML
SetUserFTA.exe .htm, MSEdgeBHTML
SetUserFTA.exe .html, MSEdgeBHTML
Gunnar-Haslinger I have downloaded SetDefaultBrowser.exe. Where should I store it so that Command Prompt can find it? I am new to computers.
- Why you like to use "SetDefaultBrowser.exe" which is a tool for automating Settings during Automated/Unattended-Deployment if you are "new to computers"? This is not a tool an End-User needs, this is a tool for IT-Professionals. As an End-User just use the GUI to configure your default Browser.
But to answer your question: If you like to use the Tool without providing full path name you have to put it in a folder which is included in the %PATH% Variable.
