Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 13, CTOnews.com previously reported that in view of the regulatory pressure of the European Union and a large number of complaints from users, Microsoft will soon allow Win11 users to open links in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and the regions of EU member states, instead of forcing the use of Edge browsers, they can use their own default browser to open.

"in the European Economic area (EEA), Windows system components can open links using the default browser," Microsoft said in the Win11 Build 23531 preview update.

EdgeDeflector developer Daniel Aleksandersen, a third-party default browser modification tool, said after testing:

After our testing, regardless of whether the user is in Europe or not, even with the latest preview version of Win11 Build 23531, the browser that opens the link by default is still Edge.

I have reviewed the findings over and over again and found no changes officially mentioned by Microsoft. Web links are still forced to be opened through an Edge browser, rather than the default web browser set by the user.

I didn't observe any changes in the Microsoft update log, and we didn't hear any user feedback that the adjustment took effect.
