Instead, you can search for or scan a list of installed apps.įor example, let’s say you just installed Firefox and wish to make it your new default web browser, replacing Microsoft’s default, Edge. Windows 11 dispenses with that interface entirely. To choose a new default for one of these app categories, you simply select the category to display a “Choose an app” pop-up, and then choose from there. Windows 10 provides a Default apps interface-in Settings > Apps > Default apps that lets you configure the default app for several app categories, including Email, Maps, Music player, Photo viewer, Video player, and Web browser.
I am referring, of course, to Default apps, which has been gutted in Windows 11, no doubt intentionally, to make it harder than ever before to switch away from Microsoft’s default app offerings.
For all the talk about calmness and simplicity, there’s one area in which Windows 11 is more chaotic and complicated than before.
