I have a laptop with Windows 11 and I installed Google Chrome 145.0.7632.117. I set it as the default browser. However, when I click on a link, the browser that opens is Edge.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you.

As mentioned set your browser app settings to open everything by default but also keep in mind Windows widgets and searches will open Edge regardless of your browser settings and preferences. They tend to force it on you for certain functions.
