Is there any way to have GPU-Z use the browser I have set as default instead of opening up Edge when clicking the update now button? On Windows 10x64 if that makes a difference.
 
weird, it uses firefox when i do it.....atleast i believe it does. do You have your preferred browser set in Windows settings?

right click taskbar /settings/ default apps/etc..

I could be wrong but I think this will disable or remove edge

Get the identity of edge by running this command in Admin level powershell

Get-AppxPackage

Once you have the edge fullname, you can add it to this


Get-AppxPackage *fullname* | Remove-AppxPackage

But im not very knowledgeable, ive done it for other apps. its something like that, just google around, and im sure you'll find what you need if noone here chimes in ofc.


*edit*

dont remove or disable things without knowing what they do 100%

You can find what you need in this thread i believe.

When you windows key + R and type www.google.com, what opens, edge?
 
I just updated my GPU-Z last might, and that opned in firefox without any problems.
 
Figured out the issue. I'm not running as administrator normally so default browser between accounts is different. Switching the administrators browser solves the issue
good to know :)
