**Please honour default Web Browser after an install.** I do not like any organization tell me what to run on my PC.

I wish I could _ **delete** _ MS Edge off my computers (6 of them) however Microsoft will not allow it. I seem to remember that Microsoft was sued over the same thing with IE.

Thank you,  
George

as you don't say under which circumstances MP3tag could possibly not behave the way you want it, just a general poke at file associations:

> [@\[X\] What's New page opens in Visual Studio rather than default browser](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/x-whats-new-page-opens-in-visual-studio-rather-than-default-browser/16722):
>
> Whenever I install a new version and launch it for the first time, the What's New page opens up in Visual Studio rather than the browser. Visual Studio is not the default program for HTML on my browser, nor is it associated with the Edit verb for that file type; I'm not really sure why it is picking VS.

So, check, which files get opened by "edge" and see with which file they are associated on your PC.  
MP3tag does not modify the file association. You have to do that locally on your PC. MP3tag just calls the program that is associated with a particular file extension.

Let me ask: Windows 11?
