Since its release, Windows 11 has been an OS with many criticisms around it. Among them all, one that users were very mad about is how it handles default apps. Looking back, things were not difficult at all in Windows 10. But Microsoft decided to change things up and make the default app handling worse in the new OS.
For example, if you do not want Edge to open up every time you click a webpage or PDF, you will be forced to visit the Windows 11 settings tab. There, you have to manually change the default app, that, too, for each app. It’s really a long process and requires too many steps. But it seems Microsoft has finally decided to fix things for good.
