Сhange Edge as the default browser in Windows 10


Microsoft may have replaced Internet Explorer with a new web browser called Edge, but it kept its habit of forcing its products on people. This means that by default, all the links that you click on from emails, messengers, documents, etc. will be automatically opened in an Edge window. In case you don't really appreciate that, there are several ways for you to change the default web browser in Windows 10, to one that you actually like.

Windows Settings

Let's begin with a general solution that will work no matter which of your installed web browsers you want to set as the default one:
  1. Use your mouse to click the Start button from the corner of your screen.
  2. Start typing "default apps settings" (without quotes) until an executable with the same name appears in the Best match section; click on it once it does.
  3. In the window that opens up, scroll down to the Web browser section and click the Edge icon.
  4. Choose the desired browser from the list of available applications by clicking on the corresponding entry or find a browser on the Windows Store.
Once that's done, the default browser will be changed to the one that you wanted and this setting will persist until you actively change it.

Firefox Settings


Click the Menu button (hamburger icon in the top-right corner).In case you're not comfortable with the general solution or if you already have a web browser running on your computer there are individual ways, which are actually faster. Here's how to make Mozilla's Firefox your default web browser from the application's own window.
  • Go to Options.
  • In the General --> Startup sections you will see a text written in bold, saying that "Firefox is not your default browser"; click the Make Defaultbutton, the text will change to indicate your new option and you'll be done.

Fix for NET Framework 3.5 not installing on Windows 10

I'm a gamer at heart, so you can imagine how annoyed I was when I saw that a Windows 10 error was preventing me from running certain titles. Many modern games require  NET Framework 3.5 in order to run, but... whenever I tried to install it on my Windows 10, I got the " DISM failed. No operation was performed ." error message. Since I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this problem, I've decided to show everyone how to fix it. For those of you who are interested, the Net Framework is a programming infrastructure that Microsoft created to help developers build and deploy products that use .NET technology. Since there are a lot of applications and services that rely on .NET (Dot Net) for their functionality, you can imagine that this kind of error can be quite irritating. Here are a few solutions that you should try: Solution One This is the one that takes the least time, but you need to have the USB stick that contains the Windows 10 installer plugged into your...
