Set the default browser using Group Policy
You can use the Group Policy setting, Set a default associations configuration file, to set the default browser for your company devices running Windows 10.
To set the default browser as Internet Explorer 11
-
Open your Group Policy editor and go to the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\File Explorer\Set a default associations configuration file setting.
Turning this setting on also requires you to create and store a default associations configuration file, locally or on a network share. For more information about creating this file, see Export or Import Default Application Associations.
-
Click Enabled, and then in the Options area, type the location to your default associations configuration file.
If this setting is turned on and your employee's device is domain-joined, this file is processed and default associations are applied at logon. If this setting isn't configured or is turned off, or if your employee's device isn't domain-joined, no default associations are applied at logon.
Your employees can change this setting by changing the Internet Explorer default value from the Set Default Programs area of the Control Panel.
