YOU WONT BELIEVE: How to change default apps for files on windows 11 - You Need To See This

Windows 11 change defaults

Windows 11 comes with many built-in applications that are configured to launch by default when clicking a specific link or file type. Usually, when you install a new application, you will be prompted to set it as the new default, but if this isn't the case, it's possible to change the default settings for apps through the Settings app.

You can use these instructions if you want to change the default settings for another web browser. However, even though you can make Chrome, Firefox, and any other browser the system default, Microsoft Edge will continue to be the default for many different actions, such as showing results from Windows Search, links from the Widgets board, and links from emails.
