Windows update breaks Chrome feature — makes switch from Edge more difficult

Microsoft rolled out an update to Windows in April 2023 that broke a button in Chrome which made it easy to switch to Google's browser as the default, Gizmodo reports.

On most Windows systems, Microsoft's Edge browser is the default option.

Though would you want the browsers on your pc to start having a war where they manually changing your default browser?
I think this is a bug fix. Google should use my operating settings and not manage it.

And, after every single "update", my start button stops working and my start menu is full of crap that I don't want!

Only the ones who can read, apparently.

According to GlobalStats StatCounter, Chrome had around 63.45% of the global browser market share in April 2023, compared to 4.96% for Edge.
