IT House April 13 news, at the end of March this year, Microsoft for Windows 11 released build 22000.593 (KB5011563) optional update, this version makes it easier for users to switch between the default browser in Windows 11.
In the Build 22000.613 (KB5012592) update released today, this feature has been rolled out to all users. The update is mandatory, not just an optional update.
When Windows 11 was first released, it introduced a tedious way to switch between default browsers, requiring users to manually change the association of each file extension, such as HTML and PDF. This move has been criticized by many browser companies and users.
Last month, Microsoft introduced an optional version of Windows 11 that allows users to change the default browser for certain file extensions, such as HTML, with one click. IT House understands that this method still does not switch the default settings for all extensions, and Edge is still the default app for opening PDFs, SHTML, SVG, FTP, and other web-related files unless the user manually changes all file associations one by one.
Competitors such as Mozilla and Vivaldi have previously said they appreciate Microsoft's improvements, but they still haven't done well enough.
