Cannot set IE11 as default browser
I am having a problem setting IE as my default browser. I have selected it as default in 'Choose access and defaults'' but in "Set default programs" IE isn't listed as a option. Any help/advice?

Have you turned it off?,
Check via
ControlPanel >> programs >> then top LEFT features, another window will open and IE will be there,
It should be ticked, if not tick it, a reboot will be needed.

Hi,
Uncheck all of the other listings they apply to the other browsers on the same line.
One of them might throw a fit and have done some interesting locking out of making changes
Open each one and go to their settings and uncheck make them selves default and restrict changes.
My guess would be Vivadi which is weird in it's self as a listing :)
Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion. It is already checked:

Where are you suggesting I Uncheck the other browsers? If I remove access it deletes the program.
Hi,
In your original questions 1st screen shot
ie11 is grayed out all the others can be unchecked.
If I uncheck them, it uninstalls them.
Hi
I do not get that prompt after apply it simply saves the settings and that's all.
Internet explorer is not grayed out for me either :/
I believe you probably picked up more than just a new browser :)
Save Adwcleaner to your desktop and right click it and select Run as administrator
Use the Download now @ bleeping computer button
Start the scanner and remove what it finds by using the Clean button
AdwCleaner Download
Post the scanner results.
Already run Adware Cleaner...nothing found. The IE was grayed out as it was the one selected to be default. Doesn't matter which browser I choose, the choice will grey out after selecting. Have run Malwarebytes Pro and anti-virus...nothing found.
Hi,
Not sure what to say I have never receive a popup message like that :/
I assume you uninstalled Chrome ?
