1407534 2015-08-28 06:01:00 I've upgraded to whats becoming, the dreaded windows 10.
My problem is with me browsers.
I have Chrome and Firefox and don't like the new microsoft one at all.
My problem is trying to set say Chrome as the default.
Brings up a new window for setting defaults,
I tell it to use Chrome and quite, but it wont change.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

1407535 2015-08-28 06:09:00 I've not had any issues with changing the default browser - have you tried typing 'default' in the search, then open the 'Default Programs' app, choose 'set your default programs' then choose Chrome from that list, and choose 'set the program as default', then click OK. wratterus (105)

Click Start, Settings,System - Default Apps. Click the browser and select your browser.

If that doesn't hold, scroll down the page a little, open the choose default apps by file type - Select .html - select Browser

The default browser in Windows 7 is IE8. So actually it's less intelligent. ;)
