Patch Tuesday April 2023 Makes It Difficult for Users to Choose a Default Browser in Windows 10 and 11

Patch Tuesday in April 2023 or the monthly Cumulative Update that we usually get on Tuesdays every month has reportedly encountered a problem that is quite troublesome for users.

Reported from the Google Chrome Forum, since users updated their Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems with the Cumulative Update in April 2023 yesterday, suddenly Windows will continue to ask users to select the default browser, and this problem only occurs for Google Chrome users who do default. make Google Chrome your primary browser.

"Since today, we have noticed on several Windows 10 users (version 22H2 with the latest updates from Microsoft that they released on patch Tuesday of April 11, 2023) that when starting the Google Chrome browser, the Default Apps settings are opened every time.

We have already set Google Chrome as the default browser several times. But that makes no sense at all. Restoring all Google Chrome default settings also has no effect.

Even uninstalling Google Chrome and reinstalling it does not provide a solution." Ungkap Joris Geutjes di Forum Google Chrome. 

So besides Joris Geutjes, there are at least 390 users who agree with this problem and some of them experience the same thing. Meanwhile, as a fix it seems to delete cumulative updates last April 2023 can solve the problem.

"uninstalling windows update to stop it from happening.
Win10 KB5025221
Win11 21H2 KB5025224
Win11 22H2 KB5026039
set windows update，after 2 or 3 week will update"

Of course, this problem is not felt by everyone, but the problem seems to only target certain Google Chrome users, so have you encountered this problem? comment below guys.
