So what REALLY is my default browser?

Yes, Windows ignores the default browser choice when opening its own Help links.
I've seen people ask about changing this before. These are the links I kept on the subject during 2022 but I have never tried to use MSEdgeRedirect.
MSEdgeRedirect also works in Win10 [dalchina #5] - TenForums
MSEdgeRedirect - Download latest stable release - GitHub
MSEdgeRedirect - TWC



All the best,

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

Pete,

... the help links won't default to it?

Yes, that's the point of that utility.

So I'll still be able explicitly to use edge

I can't see anything in those links that says otherwise.

I've just realised that I gave you the GitHub download link and left out the main GitHub info page for it.
MSEdgeRedirect - GitHub


Thanks for the rep,
All the best,

I had to reinstall Edge and turn off sync before it worked with no undesired side effects.

@dalchina,

I thought you might be interested in Pete's findings after installing MSEdgeRedirect.

All the best,
Denis

Thanks, I have it installed on 1 PC- fine- had it working on this one too.. then there was an upgrade to MSEdgeRedirect and I never got it to work properly again. I might try again sometime.
