We are trying to do some testing with our users and are finding it impossible to set Edge Preview (Canary) as the default browser. Our normal method is this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/set-the-default-browser-using-g... . However, that does not work here because the application has a different ProgId for every user!
How is it even doing that?
For example, the ProgId for my user (regardless of the machine I am on) is
MSEdgeSSHTM.NS7ER4I24GDDNBWOYEL3IQCRMQ
For a test user:
MSEdgeSSHTM.GHT3SBBSAAGTR47KQ5H5UTXHHQ

Hi Keith & welcome,
Give this a try; works for me & should work for you, also.
> Settings > Apps > Default apps. Scroll down to Web browser. Left Clk on the one showing & you will see a list of available choices. Click on the one you want, Canary or other. But, until, Edge C is, actually, our 'embedded' browser, via GPO may not be doable. You may have to set each User machine as I have described above.
Cheers,
Drew

Keith,
Someone from the Edge Team will, certainly, have more info on this than, I. Submit the query HERE to have an E-mail reply & discussion with a specific MS person regarding the submitted topic or issue.
