Posted March 29, 2022 When Windows 11 was released, setting an alternative web browser as the default web browser was a chore by itself. It required to set the file association and URL file association one-by-one. A time consuming feet. The change coincided with the new re-worked "Default apps" section in the Settings panel introduced with Windows 11. Windows Insiders, for a long time now, has had the ability to set your default web browser via 1-click, as Microsoft introduced the option since December. Microsoft is finally bringing this feature to all, via the update KB5011563 as well with a series of bug fixes. Once you have the update installed, your Windows 11 build will jump to: 22000.593, and the settings should be available. To use it, after installing the update, go to Settings > Apps > Default apps. Then pick your web browser, and you'll have the option on top "Make <web browser name> your default browser", pick "Set default" and it will switch all web related file association, and URLs to use the selected web browser. Note: Your web search results from Search or Widget panel links still will open with Edge. The Verge reports: Quote Microsoft is finally making it easier to change your default browser in Windows 11. A new update (KB5011563) has started rolling out this week that allows Windows 11 users to change a default browser with a single click. After testing the changes in December, this new one-click method is rolling out to all Windows 11 users. Originally, Windows 11 shipped without a simple button to switch default browsers that was always available in Windows 10. Instead, Microsoft forced Windows 11 users to change individual file extensions or protocol handlers for HTTP, HTTPS, .HTML, and .HTM, or you had to tick a checkbox that only appeared when you clicked a link from outside a browser.

I am glad it has been finally released, and not have users wait until the end of the year for it with the next scheduled version release of Windows 11.

Posted March 29, 2022 Why am I getting the Feeling Microsoft has 2 Departments for the UI for windows 11. 1 Main department, to Royally fuck over the entire UI, and another to fix the other departments mistakes. after the massive consumer-backlash. They are removing Power-user features, and basic usage features, then slowly bring them back. Like are they even trying to make a decent OS. or are they just trying to create the biggest pile of Shit anyone has ever seen. If it is the latter one, I really hope they mess it up soo bad Microsoft never returns back to FORCED Tablet UI's for desktop systems. ╔═════════════╦═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║__________________║ hardware_____________________________________________________ ║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ cpu ______________║ ryzen 9 5900x_________________________________________________ ║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ GPU______________║ ASUS strix LC RX6800xt______________________________________ _║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ motherboard_______ ║ asus crosshair formulla VIII______________________________________║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ memory___________║ CMW32GX4M2Z3600C18 ______________________________________║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ SSD______________║ Samsung 980 PRO 1TB_________________________________________ ║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ PSU______________║ Corsair RM850x 850W _______________________ __________________║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ CPU cooler _______ ║ Be Quiet be quiet!

Posted March 29, 2022 And this is a huge thing? Like literally this is THE huge thing? "Look! We listened to you and made is simple to change your default browser! Now you must love our touch screen optimized UI!" It starts to feel that Microsoft makes mistakes only to fix them way later to call them "big changes that people want" hoping that people would forget that those used to be actual features in the past before Microsoft removed them.

Posted March 29, 2022 2 hours ago, GoodBytes said: Windows 11 was released in a rush. It only had 1 year of development. Then it shouldn't have been released. There really isn't much justification behind pushing out a broken product...maybe they wanted to hit their numbers...but that is still a very poor reason to push a product that was in a state that Windows 11 was/is in. I'm glad that this is "fixed", but this should have been a day one fix. I agree with @leadeater it seems as though their motives weren't really aligned with fixing, and that it never should have been a problem. Even months prior to the release of Windows 11 there was the concern about this and uproar from the browser makers. This kind of thing is something that should have been a lot higher priority as setting file associations in one giant lump is decently common. I'm betting the state of Windows 11 alone is starting to push more people towards using Linux...even I'm tempted to start moving towards that direction after seeing the state that Windows 11 was launched in (and the willingness to release half-completed features for the sake of releasing something on time) 3735928559 - Beware of the dead beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new right-click menu does 2 thing: Cleans up the mess, where so many items are just never or rarely used. Drops the old crappy implementation for third party apps adding entries in it, in favor of a new asynchronous approach. Encourages consolidation of program menu entries as sub-menus This fixes the following issues: Right-click menu taking time to load (this is because Windows is waiting for all registered entries to be loaded before displaying the menu) Right-click menu not showing up, hanging explorer. Same as above, but worse... where the application has a flow issue and stuck in a infinite loop or extensive processing that it should not be doing Making the user have these massive right-click menus where teh user is swimming with options that they never use, because every program on the planet wants to add menu entries, and many of them add them by default, and make it difficult or even impossible to remove. The end result, is that now if you right-click, and an entry takes time to load, it won't show up, and when it is ready, it will be added into the menu (menu will expand). Now, the user will complain to the developers, and QA (assuming they are any) will have an easier time identifying that something is missing (as it takes a long time to load). The burden is pushed on the developers of those who insist in adding menu items, and not on Microsoft for fixing something that they can't fix. I think it is a much needed update. I am happy it finally arrives. You can expect the "Show more" menu item to be removed in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about music apps, video apps, image apps? Oh right, I need to manually associate 150 extensions for IrfanView ffs. Thnx Microsoft, you rock. It is because you have installed 2x Firefox. Probably one from the Store and the other yourself. Or one is beta/nightly and the other official, or 2 different versions. For images, as you open a file format and you have recently installed an app that has added support for it, you'll get the "Open With" dialog. So for example, assuming a clean install of Windows 11. You have a JPG file, you double click on it, it opens with Photo app. Great. You install Paint.net, now you double click on a JPG file, Windows will ask you: "Which app do you want to open it with", and it will remember that choice.

From what I understand, it was only browsers that Microsoft made ridiculously hard to change. For images and such, programs can quite easily set themselves as the default. The UI in Windows 11 is still kind of ass for doing it manually, but it is not that big of a deal as with browsers. 13 hours ago, FakeKGB said: Does this make searches in the search bar open in the default browser or is it still just Edge?

It's been practically 10 years starting with Windows 8 where they were trying to move everything to a unified Settings menu. That being said, I can't imagine them removing the Control Panel until the next major release. Then you had other things like explorer property menus and dialog boxes not having dark mode implementations so running dark mode still feels like an odd hybrid. Like even the About Windows dialog box does not have a dark mode implementation for crying out loud.

Posted April 1, 2022 Author Just now, AnonymousGuy said: Cause I'm not fucking going through sub menus to Edit in Notepad++. Yup, just contact Notepad++ developers and file a feature request. Some did with 7Zip, and the dev basically said he wasn't interested in upgrading to Win11, and a branch of the project was made called NanaZip, which updated the context menu to the new Win11 API, and works great. That said, pressure is increasing on the forum of 7Zip to add support. Looking at Notepad++ while I see there is one person that complain, not much push is made by the community. So that might never come. Open With option is suggested, as it is right there. Or just press and hold Shift before right-clicking on the file to get the old menu.
