Can’t make Opera my default browser

Topic

New Reply

Opera does not show up in my list of Windows apps, so I cannot set it as my default browser.

Version of Windows – Windows 11 Pro
Version of Opera – 118.0.5461.83

I used PCMover to migrate my user account from a Win10 machine to a Win11 machine. Opera runs, but does not appear in Settings/Apps/Default Apps, so I cannot make it the default. How can I fix this?

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue
1. Open Settings/Apps/Default Apps
2. Search for Opera

Expected behavior and actual one
Expected: Opera shows up with an option to make it the default web browser.
Actual: Opera does not show up.

@bmeacham

Start Opera and press Alt+P to open Settings.

Scroll down to the Default Browser section and click the Make default button.
