How to make Yandex.Browser the default in Windows 10
Installing an application in the operating system by default means using this software to launch specific files, open links, and so on. You do not have to manually select each time which browser should open the link to the video or picture. There are several ways to configure this option on Windows computers. Some are offered by the system, while others are built into the software. Today we will talk about how to make Yandex.Browser the default in Windows 10.
Selecting settings during installation
So, let's start with a situation where this browser is not yet installed on your computer. You can enable the desired option during the installation process. This procedure is performed as follows:
- Go to the official Yandex website to download the browser installer.
- Now run the downloaded file by double clicking the mouse.
- A window will appear on the screen in which you need to check the only item below. Then click on the install button.
- It remains to wait until the utility downloads the necessary files. After installation, the browser will be ready to use!
But you can accidentally skip this moment and go straight to the installation. Don't worry, Yandex.Browser will offer to make it your default browser the first time you turn it on. Read about it below.
