I would like to have a script which sets edge as default browser as the settings you mentioned above does not let users to change the default browser to other browsers. After changing to other browser it sets back to Edge after reboot which is not my client’s requirement. Please help me with script. Thanks

Great article Peter!

I’m presuming that once you make Edge the default browser that it is now locked down by policy and is unable to be changed by the end user?

What I’m trying to do where at our company is that we have settled on Edge as our standard browser for the organization and are ‘encouraging’ as the default browser. So we want to do an announcement to that end and then do a one time push more or less to make it the default on the user’s machine, but still give the flexibility to allow the user to change it if desired.

Cheers,
Dan

In reply to baje. At least make sure the XML is correct (and converted) and make sure the policy is successfully applied.

In reply to John. The side by side setting is for testing only, not supported for production as far as I know. I have seen more issues using this setting and would not recommend using it.

Great article. I have a question though, does this still apply if legacy Edge is configured in side by side mode? That is what I have configured and when this policy applies, the default web browser is set to Edge legacy. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thx
