Yes, to prevent this behaviour you had to make a decision on removing cumulative security updates. May need to block KB5025221 until it's reissued. Looks to have fixed several machines just these last few minutes. Remove the Security Update KB5025221 and restart, this removes the problem. We're on Windows 10 machines and pushed updates the last couple days. Good morning Todd, We're having the same issue through our organization as well. Anyone else having this issue? This does not occur when opening edge or brave browser, only Chrome for us.Ī quick glance at the replies illustrates that Todd isn’t the only one impacted, as well as presenting the solution:
Removing the update makes the issue go away. This is happening to all 600 systems with the update. I've tried many ways to resolve this without luck. After today's cumulative update for Windows 10 and 11, 2023-04, every time I open Chrome the default app settings of windows will open. Opening chrome causes default app settings to open each and every time. Anyone know where this behaviour comes from? It doesn't happen if we change the default browser to Edge.Įlsewhere, we have a thread about how someone’s 600 business devices all exhibit the same behaviour: If Chrome is set as the default browser, clicking on the link shortcut will open the link in chrome, but also open the Windows settings on the default apps. Microsoft released update KB5025221 last month, and users of Chrome quickly began to flag peculiar experiences. This is how things should work, and for a while they did! As Gizmodo notes, this was not to be the case for long. One "Default" button to press, and boom…your default browser is set to Chrome without having to dig around in your system settings. Last year, Chrome made some changes to how you go about making it your default browser, after you've downloaded it with Edge. A recent Windows update really wants you to use Edge instead of rival browsers, to the extent that some features in those rival browsers are breaking.Ī lot of people will only ever use Microsoft's default Edge browser to download another browser they'd rather use. However, every so often a story comes along which reminds us how little control we have when the big players notice one another's existence. We like to imagine we’re in total control of our desktop experience, carefully curated to look and work the way we want it to.
