    IE is not default


    IE is not listed in the default programs. I cannot set IE as a default browser, though it seems it is. My alternative internet browser is Firefox which is not default.

    Hello Hrant,

    You might see if this may be able to restore Internet Explorer back in Default Programs.

    Hope this helps, :)

    If Shawn's suggestion did not help, you might try this:

    You can set Firefox as default:

    Open Firefox> Tools> Options> Advanced> Under System defaults click Make Firefox the default browser

    Confirm Firefox opens web links by default

    Open IE> Tools (The gear icon upper right)> Internet Options> Programs> Put a check next to Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default browser> Now click on Make default

    See if IE is now restored to default.
