To change your default browser with just one click, you can now just go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps, select your browser of choice, and then click the new “Set Default” button at the top. Microsoft previously said that new features and OS improvements from Insider builds could show up in the production ring when they’re ready, and this simpler way to switch default browsers is a good example of that.

Microsoft has been testing this change with Windows Insiders since December, but the release notes for yesterday’s optional patch curiously don’t mention it (thanks Neowin for spotting it). After installing this KB5011563 optional update, Windows 11 users will now be able to set a new default browser with a single click instead of having to go through the process of choosing a default browser for different file and link types one by one.


Microsoft’s latest optional update for Windows 11 fixes one of the OS’ biggest annoyances.
