Yesterday, Microsoft rolled out a cumulative update (KB5011563) to Windows 11 users with a new notification delivery system, along with a number of bug fixes. However, other than these small changes, the company also introduced a noteworthy feature, making it much easier for users to change their default browsers. Let’s take a look at the details below.

Microsoft, with the latest cumulative update for Windows 11, has made the process of changing the default browser much easier than the lengthy process that was available previously. Users can now change the default web browser with just a single click instead of manually ticking a checkbox every time they open a web link.

To recall, Microsoft previously tested a simpler way of changing the default browser in the Windows 11 Insider Build 22509 in December last year.

This made the process of changing the default browser in Windows 11 complex. Furthermore, third-party browser companies like Brave, Mozilla, and Google Chrome criticized this system as users could not easily change their default browser from Edge to any other web browser.
