New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser automagically
(www.bleepingcomputer.com)
Long story short: That pop-up you get when you open Firefox (or whatever other browser) for the first time asking you if you want to make it your default browser won't work anymore. They're forcing you to go through their convoluted control panel where you have to change it like 20 times for each file extension.
stop lying it is literally ONE CLICK lmao I hate windows too but damn y'all act like the OS isn't incredibly simple. Whether or not it prevents the browser from automatically doing so is neither here nor there - there's no need to lie about how the OS works
I don't know anyone but web developers who would have .htm or .html files that they're actively opening frequently but you realize that is one menu deeper than what I screenshotted and not exactly "20 individual settings" you have to change for your default browser?? Is the average user going to need to worry about .shtml files? But anyways I will be banned for Windows defense if I continue this so
It's not just those files in Windows 11's case, it's things like shortcuts you have on your desktop, clicked links, and a bunch of other things which all get defaulted to Edge and you have to go in and change all of them.
