How to change default browser setting?

Currently the web-based Articulate programs (RISE, Review, etc.) open in Microsoft Edge on my laptop.  How can I change that so t hat all Articulate programs use Chrome as the default browser?  Thanks...

    That is done in your Windows Settings.

    Choose Settings / Apps & Features / Default Apps. 

    Where it says Web Browser: Edge, change it to Chrome.

  • I suddenly noticed that  Articulate programs were opening in Edge even though I'd been using Chrome all along. Must have happened in a Windows software update.  

  • Hi Ellen! 

    Yes it does happen after a Windows Update, you just have to go through the steps again and just choose the browser you want (even if it has already been selected before)

    Here's how:

    Go to Settings, then click on Apps

    Click on Default Apps

    Scroll down and look for Web Browser then choose your Default Browser:

     

    Note: Sometimes you need to choose the default browser again even if it has already been set.

    Hope this helps!

  • I've come here to ask the same question but I want to set default to Chrome for ONLY articulate - I've got issues with my work laptop (probably due to firewall/security) where if I'm on VPN rise and review simply will not open.  the work fine with Chrome but I don't want to use Chrome for everything else web based - please can someone help - my local IT have been about as helpful as a chocolate teapot!

      Hi Karen,

      You can have only one default browser and it applies to all web sites.
