Microsoft Edge thinks it is default

Chrome is set as the default browser. Links in emails in Windows Live mail 2012 and Word 2010 open in Microsoft Edge anyway. The old Outlook Express had a settings portion where you could tell it which text editor and Browser and such but Windows Live doesn't have that (that I can find)

I understand Microsoft Edge is the new default browser for Windows 10 but I don't see a way to tell it directly to not be the default browser. I have set Chrome as the default in the Chrome settings and all but Microsoft programs seem to respect that.

How do I make it so Microsoft Edge is not the browser that opens when links in Windows Live mail and Word are clicked?

Are the "Links in emails" opened from within Google Chrome? – ss4566654768 – 2015-09-08T21:45:51.330

I figured it out. In the Windows 10 "Settings>System>Default apps" there is a place for selecting a default browser and it was indeed set to Edge. I changed it to Chrome and that took care of it.
