Microsoft removed the option to set defaults for popular application types such as the web browser, email program or video player.

Windows 11 makes it harder to change default applications. Not everyone device will be upgraded immediately or at all, but millions of devices will run the operating system by the end of October.

Microsoft plans to release its new operating system Windows 11 on October 5, 2021. Our last review dates back to 2021 when EdgeDeflector 1.2 was released.

It parses the links, rewrites them, and passes them on to Windows again which in turn opens the link using the default web browser on the system.Įdge Deflector received several updates throughout the years. The program registers itself as the handler of the Edge-specific microsoft-edge protocol on Windows so that it becomes the default program to handle the links. We reviewed Edge Deflector back in 2017 for the first time. Similarly, News and Interests links, a new feature introduced years later, would open in Microsoft Edge. Users who opened web search results in Search noticed that these would always open in Microsoft Edge, regardless of whether the browser was the default system browser or not. It also sports a phase flip switch, because sometimes things just sound better flipped.When Microsoft launched Windows 10 back in 2015, it became clear immediately that the company wanted to push its Microsoft Edge web browser by linking some functionality with it. It's fat, and very much a signature Sly-Fi sound! Stepped/fixed controls can be perfect, or they can get in my way, so I added a UBK mode where all freq and gain knobs sweep freely I love being able to point this magical eq in between the usual frequencies. Last, I put both a classic 'A' and modern 'B' mode on a switch with the UBK mode, so you can choose the one that works best for each track. At the request of Tchad Blake, Axis can now transfer your settings from A or B mode straight to UBK mode for fine tuning. That knob generates a very creamy, lush distortion, I'll often use the Sat on its own, no EQ'ing. Next, I added a Saturation knob to overdrive a customized op-amp. But even a stunning classic isn't safe from my meddling tastes! For starters, this eq's curves are a bit tighter than the original. There's a reason the eq that inspired this plugin has endured 45 years of musical fashion & trends: it does all the right things to sound.
