Latest Win10 update has blocked Firefox as default browser, locked Edg
The morning of May 25th 2019 Pacific Time Microsoft locked in MS Edge as a default browser in Windows 10 on my computer.
My system shows 2019-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4494441) successfully installed on 5/23/2019 (yet yesterday, 5/24 Firefox was still my default browser)
Please read the following methods to see how they did it. Bottom line: Firefox, Chrome or any other browser are not recognized by Windows 10.
Settings>default apps>web browser
Microsoft Edge or "Look for app in Microsoft Store" (of course neither Firefox nor Chrome nor IE11 are listed there)
Settings>default apps>"choose default apps by protocol"
HTTP and HTTPS are locked in by MS Edge, no way to change
Settings>default apps>"set defaults by app"
Firefox nor Google Chrome nor IE11 are listed
Does anyone have a fix. What can we do?
