A tiny helper application to force Windows 10 to use your preferred web browser instead of ignoring the setting to promote Microsoft Edge. Only runs for a microsecond when needed.

Extra Notes

It had worked before but had unexpectedly stopped working.

I uninstalled the KB5007253 "Optional Quality Update" and that fixed the issue. This 'quality update' was likely the same thing Windows 11 recently did to disable Edge Deflector.

When I uninstalled the update, Edge Deflector works again.
