    I ran across an interesting change in 10122. Chrome has been my default browser but after I updated to 10122, Edge became my default browser. So when I launched Chrome for the first time after the update, it prompted me by saying Chrome wasn't your default browser, would you like to set it. I said yes...but the change didn't update Chrome like it has in the past.

    You have to go to Settings > System > Default Apps

    Interesting.
    I noticed that too and didn't like it !

    With people mentioning Edge has now become the default browser

    Has this happened with other apps
    ie, Is Photos the default photo app, Music the default player etc
    I haven't gotten that far, Paul. It's something to consider, but most likely, Microsoft is just forcing us to "at least try it" when changing our default browser to Edge.

    Edit: And now I'm going back to Firefox for now. Edge isn't ready and I don't like to work with half-baked apps.

    Although Edge crashes, my installed games (COD-MW3 / COD-Ghosts) work fine with latest beta driver (v15.4).

    I have not had much problems.

    so far I only ran into 2 problems.

    1st problem was after upgrading to this build from 10074, I ran into a issue with both stores not working. one said I wasnt logged in(which I was). and the beta store said it needed repaired.

    I went and told windows 10 to do a system refresh and those problems was fixed.

    2nd. I had stardock fences installed and desktop icons hidden with it. after the system refresh the program was removed but my desktop stuff was still hidden. I had to install fences in order to get the desktop back.


    so far Im liking this build. the ui design seem to blend in great with programs.


    I have not had any problems with start menu or other programs so far.

    From Brinks original post. Concerning defaults.
    Changes to how Windows 10 handles default apps: ‘Default apps’ refers to the way that Windows maps file types and protocols (like HTTP) to the Windows applications they open by default. For example, your favorite photo editor may be set as the default app for .JPG files, which means that when you double-click on a .JPG file in File Explorer, it opens in that photo editor. In Windows 8.1, Classic Windows applications (Win32) could invoke the prompt asking you to change your defaults, so you may have seen multiple prompts during install and after they launched. However, Windows Store apps could not invoke this prompt. Instead, a notification banner will appear after your apps are installed telling you that new apps are available and you would click on this banner to change your defaults.

    We know your defaults matter to you. With Windows 10, all apps – both Classic Windows apps and Universal Windows apps – will be unable to invoke a prompt to change your defaults, only Windows. You remain in full control of your default experiences, while reducing some of the unwanted noise that multiple prompts can bring.



    For example – if you install a new photo editor and go into File Explorer and double-click to open a JPG file – Windows will show you a prompt to change your default to the new app. So the prompt is shown in context when it matters, not randomly during setup or when an app is launched.

    We have had to do some compatibility work for Classic Windows apps and you might see a new dialog box appear in the places where Classic Windows apps previously asked you to set your default:



    Over time, as apps are updated to align with the new Windows 10 model for defaults, you shouldn’t see this dialog any more.
    And finally – for people who upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, we’ll give you an opportunity to upgrade your defaults during initial set up to new Universal Windows apps that come as part of Windows 10.

    Oooooo, the initial setup is real brutal. It was definitely designed by a Download(dot)com designer. All Default settings with a nice, big,pretty NEXT button, and to personalize the settings a dark blue background with barely lighter blue "small print". My opinion to this=Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10122 for PCs-puking-smiley.gif.
