Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the configured Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser through software or by manually modifying the Registry.
Count yourself lucky then. I run Windows 11 in several VMs and unless you spend a bunch of time turning off all the popups its unusable. You still can’t get rid of Edge in the start menu (it always opens edge when you mistype) and Edge always says “recommended”
On top of that Edge always has a ton of things to click though before you can close it.
Having had win11 installed for approximately a year, my default browser (Firefox) has never been changed by an update.
