Ccleaner opens up wrong browser

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Hello,

I've been using Ccleaner for a few years now, ever since Windows 7 days. I think after I upgraded to Windows 8, I started noticing Ccleaner opening up Internet Explorer when I asked it to update (including when I clicked on the pear logo). However, Internet Explorer was not my default browser. (My default browser is Chrome.) I didn't think much of it back then as I did occasionally switch to use Internet Explorer.

Now that I've upgraded to Windows 10, Ccleaner continues to open up Internet Explorer as part of updating. This is getting annoying as I'm trying to move away from Internet Explorer all together and use Edge as my secondary browser. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ccleaner, but the problem persists. It seems like for some reason, Ccleaner won't recognize Chrome as my default browser. May someone please help me figure out how to correct this? Thanks!

You may have the re-configure what you want as the default system browser to prevent software from doing this:

1. Go into the browser you don't want opened and untick/disable the box that makes it the system default.

2. Go into the browser you want opened as the system default and tick/enable the box (or click the button) that makes it the system default.

another way to the same end result as suggested by @Andavari is;

click the Start button, click Settings, System, Default apps, scroll down to Web browser, click the current one listed, change it to Chrome (in your case).

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both proposed solutions and they did not work.

Did Chrome appear in the list of Web Browser default apps ?

Yup, Chrome did appear in the list.

Makes sure chrome is set for all of its defaults (htm, html, php, etc)
