How to force Windows 10 to set apps as default

Is Settings not letting you set apps as default? In this guide, we'll show you the steps to get around this problem on Windows 10.

Windows 10 bundles a number of default apps, including Microsoft Edge, Groove Music, and Movies & TV as your default web browser, music, and video player — just to name a few. Although, if you prefer to have other apps as default, you can use the Settings app, sometimes the new configuration won't apply, or you may even get an error that won't let you set your own default programs.

Indeed, it's something that Microsoft has to spend more time trying to fix, but there is a workaround to this problem. You can simply use Control Panel to set your apps as default.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the easy steps to set default apps using Control Panel when the Settings app fails to apply your configurations.
