How to Change Default Apps and Settings in Windows 10

Are you tired of using the same default apps and settings on your Windows 10 computer? Luckily, it’s possible to customize your preferences and make changes to your preferred apps with just a few clicks.

To change your default apps on Windows 10, click on the Start menu and select Settings. From there, click on “Apps” and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Default Apps.” You will see a list of default apps such as web browser, email client, and media player.

To change any of these apps, simply click on the default app and a list of options will appear. Select the app you want to use instead and it will become your new default.

Similarly, to change your settings on Windows 10, click on the Start menu and select Settings. From there, click on the setting you want to change such as “System” or “Devices.” You will see a list of options that you can customize according to your preferences.

For example, if you want to change your display settings, click on “System” and then select “Display.” You can choose a custom resolution, toggle on or off the Night Light feature, and adjust your screen’s brightness.

Another important setting you might want to change is your privacy settings. Click on “Privacy” in the Settings menu and you can adjust your camera, microphone, and location settings. You can also control app permissions and diagnostic data collection.

It’s important to note that some apps may not have the option to be changed as a default. In this case, you will have to manually select the app each time you want to use it.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
