If you're using another OS (macOS, Linux, etc.), let me know and I\u2019ll give you those steps too.\n\n---\n\n## For Windows 11\n\n1. Click **Start** (Windows key) \u2192 **Settings** (or press Windows + I).  \n2. Go to **Apps** \u2192 **Default apps**.  \n3. Find and click on the browser you *want* to be your default (e.g., Google Chrome, Firefox).  \n4. Click **Set default**.  \n\n   - If it doesn\u2019t show \u201cSet default,\u201d scroll down and make sure the browser is set for common web protocols and file types like `HTTP`, `HTTPS`, `.htm`, and `.html`. ([windowscentral.com](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-default-web-browser-windows-11?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## For Windows 10\n\n1. Open **Settings** (Windows + I) \u2192 **Apps** \u2192 **Default apps**.  \n2. Scroll down to the **Web browser** section.  \n3. Click where it says \u201cMicrosoft Edge\u201d (or the current default browser), then pick your preferred browser from the list. ([digitalcitizen.life](https://www.digitalcitizen.life/3-ways-change-default-web-browser-windows-10/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What to do if Windows reverts back to Edge\n\nSometimes Windows seems to \u201creset\u201d default browser settings back to Edge. If that happens:\n\n- Make sure your preferred browser is up to date.  \n- Double check that all link and file-type associations (http, https, .html, .htm, etc.) are set to your preferred browser. ([caminogeek.com](https://www.caminogeek.com/en/change-default-browser-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In rare cases, editing the registry or file associations may help stop Windows from overriding your choice \u2014 but this is more advanced and should be done carefully.
