How to change Windows 10 browser - the solution

- Open "Settings" in the Start menu (alternatively, press the Windows key+i key combination).
- Click on "System".
- Now select "Standard apps" in the bottom left-hand column.
- Now scroll to "Web browser" and click on the browser icon displayed there.
- Now select the desired browser: Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox.

Two things you still need to know when changing the Windows 10 browser
The first clue: If a desired browser is missing from the list under "Standard apps", the Browser not yet installed. Auf neugekauften PC und neuen Windows-10-Installationen ist das normal. Wer seinen Windows 10 Browser ändern möchte, um einen Nicht-Microsoft-Browser wie Google Chrome oder Mozilla Firefox zu nutzen, muss diesen zunächst installieren – am besten über die Webseite des jewiligen Anbieters.
The second hint: If you reset your Windows 10 browser, you get when starting the program for the first time A dialog box to see. Here you must uncheck "Check at every start" and click on "Do not change". Otherwise, the window will reappear each time it is called up.
