Hi I have not been on here for ages. Greetings

Windows 10. I cannot set a default browser or a picture viewer in settings/default apps.
I could before the A/update.
Any ideas please
 

Solution
To set default apps
  • Press [Windows key + i]
  • Click on System
  • Click on Default Apps
The most common apps are the large buttons and scrolling down to the bottom has more advanced options for setting apps.

the windows photo viewer app was removed from windows 10... if you want it back on that may be done but the steps are different for an upgrade or a fresh install

what browser do you want as your default?
