    Playing devils advocate here. If there was a bug when chrome/Firefox/whatever tried to set the default browser, wouldn’t the most logical action to reset the default back to edge, instead of leaving it in a weird bugged out state?

      How would something so simple bug out? It wouldn’t be impossible I guess, but the chance that it isn’t Windows’ fault seem really slim

        Definitely a very low chance for chrome or Firefox to bug it out, but there’s tons of apps out there that could break it. Like how many sketchy “PC cleaner” applications are out there? Those could definitely cause weird issues. I love to hate on Microsoft as much as anyone, but without context on what the user was doing prior to seeing this error, this just seems like normal error handling to me.
