I had the same problem. I ended up going into Edge's settings itself and turning off the option that lets it start up with Windows, which seemed to help.
Yeah, that's the right spot to check. Also, sometimes you just have to click a link once in Edge to trigger Windows asking which browser you really want.
Agreed. I had the same problem. Even after setting my default browser, I found I had to open Edge, go into its settings, and turn off the option that lets it start up with Windows.
Agreed. You could also try going into Edge's settings itself and turning off the option that lets it start with Windows and stay connected, which sometimes overrides defaults. Hope that helps.
