Windows 11 keeps changing my default browser back to Edge after every update
Every time Windows 11 installs an update, it resets my default browser back to Edge. I've set Chrome as default more times than I can count, but the next patch comes through and it's back to Edge again. I even tried removing Edge once, but Windows just reinstalled it during the next update.
I've gone through Settings and set Chrome as default for every file type I could find. Still happens. Not comfortable messing with the registry unless I know exactly what I'm doing.
Anyone else dealing with this on Windows 11? Found a way to make it stick?

Since you have already selected Chrome repeatedly, the useful next step is to establish whether Windows actually changes its associations or a particular application merely opens Edge. Immediately after the next occurrence, open Settings, Apps, Default apps, select Chrome, and inspect the HTTP and HTTPS link types as well as the browser default. Record what changed and the update's KB number. If this is a work-managed computer, ask the administrator to check the default-associations policy: Microsoft documents that managed associations can be reapplied at sign-in. Do not edit the registry or try another Edge removal to work around an organizational policy. On an unmanaged PC, compare the behavior in a separate user profile and test a normal web link from another application. If the associations themselves revert, report that reproducible sequence through Feedback Hub with the Windows build, rather than assuming every update intentionally resets browsers.
Getting a natural-looking face replacement on a PC depends heavily on the source images, especially facial angle, lighting, resolution, and expression. A face swapper ai can automate much of the replacement process, but convincing results still require suitable training images and some manual checking. DeepFaceLab provides a more technical workflow for extracting faces, training a model, and merging the generated face back into the original material.
How to use a face swapper ai for more natural face replacement
Op. 1: Install the program and prepare the source and destination images or videos. Use clear material with similar lighting and facial angles when possible.
Op. 2: Extract frames from the source material, then run face extraction to detect and save aligned facial images.
Op. 3: Review the extracted faces and remove incorrect detections, blurred images, or unrelated faces before training.
Op. 4: Choose an available training model and start training with the prepared face sets. Training can take considerable time, especially without a suitable GPU.
Op. 5: Preview the trained result and adjust the face mask, color matching, and blending settings when the replacement does not match the surrounding skin or lighting.
Op. 6: Run the merge process to place the generated faces into the destination frames, then export the final result and inspect facial edges, expressions, and consistency.
Notes:
Good source images have a major effect on the result.
The workflow has a noticeable learning curve.
Use face images with permission and avoid deceptive use.
