      I tried that and just did it again, no joy. Are there registry setting that control this issue? If so where are they?

      Yes, can surf using Firefox. At this point I’ve deleted the check to see if Firefox is my default browser and work from there. It is a pain but I kill Edge which boots and then navigate using Firefox.

      What does the default app window show as the default web browser?

      Mark

      Always shows Edge

      There is a hijacker, it is called Windows 10. Reinstall didn’t help.

      In search, type “default browser”. Click on Choose a default browser. Select Firefox.

      That’s pretty much the standard process and it doesn’t work.

      I did go logon my MS account. No difference. Thanks for the suggestion.

      Second method is what you get by default in setup. First is if you work through the control panel. I used both to no avail before the original post. Thanks anyway.

      Ran “sfc /scannow” and result in #2. Restart etc but issue still remains.

      David,
      English is your 3rd language! Heck it is my only language and I still have problems understand it sometimes.

      If I left click on the Window icon (lower left) of taskbar, I see the image in your #12 post and after about 4 sec it disappears. My cursor is remaining on the icon and not being moved. If I right click on the Window icon, I see the image in your #11 post.

      I want to keep the #12 image till I take the cursor off the icon.

      I’ll work through your instructions and be back.
