Question

Select Browser for Help

After a Wibdows 11 update some weeks ago, Microsoft Edge version 150 closes a few seconds after it is opened. This is not a problem for me normaly because I prefer to use Google Chrome. However Mathcad Prime seems to insist on using Edge.

I have set Chrome as the default browser and then installed Prime 12.0.0.1 even though I use English as the Prime language. Still no good.

Does anyone know how to get Mathcad Prime to use Chrome?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

If you do not use Microsoft Edge just uninstall it.

Cheers

Terry

Thanks for your response.

Not so easy. It seems that Microsoft has made Edge an integral part of Windows 11 and cannot be (easily) uninstalled like other apps. The best that one can do is a “repair” of Edge which downloads and reinstalls Edge version 150. Same problem.

I am hoping to avoid complicated “rabbit holes” like trying a Windows 11 repair.
