How to Change the Default Browser on Windows 11 PC Easily

In Windows 11, you must set the default app for each file type individually. To change the default browser on a Windows 11 PC, replace Microsoft Edge with Chrome for each file type.

7. Click Microsoft Edge under .htm to change the default browser on your Windows 11 PC. Then, select Google Chrome and press OK.

8. Repeat step 6 for the other file types that you want to make the default to use Google Chrome.

Quick Tip

Set HTTP and HTTPS to Google Chrome

If you think that making Google Chrome the default app for all file types is a quite troublesome task to do, you can select HTTP and HTTPS, then set Google Chrome as the default app for both protocols.

It will change your default browser to Google Chrome even though you let other file types unchanged. 

The next time you open a site, Windows 11 will open Google Chrome instead of Microsoft Edge. 

And if you go to Google Chrome > Settings > Default browser, you will notice that Google Chrome has become your default browser now. 

Those were how to change the default browser on Windows 11 computers.
