After every restart of the PC, the standard browser from MS Edge changes to the Norton private browser

Hello community,

after every restart of the PC, the standard browser from MS Edge changes to the Norton private browser.

Is that a mistake or normal behavior?

Meaning your Windows default browser changes to Norton Private Browser?
Yeah, I had that…pita…pardon my language.
I scraped Norton Private Browser off my machines.

So this is not a mistake, but must be like this.

So the solution:
Remove Norton Private Browser from the PC… I’ll think about that :thinking:

From my point of view, the post can be closed

Thanks for the feedback, regards

there are setting to change - to release Norton Private Browser from default
Sorry, all my related content is Oops! over on old Community

Hello community,

I was able to solve the problem by repairing the Norton browser using the program management of CCleaner (also from Gen).

Info: I didn’t reinstall the Norton browser via Remove/Reinstall, I actually repaired it. CCleaner offered to do that. But I don’t know whether it actually makes a difference.

Microsoft EDGE now remains my default browser after restarting the PC and while using the PC, no switching to the Norton browser.

No, not yet.

just remember not to set norton privet browser to standart browser and all work ok

@ globus5000,

does that mean that once you make the Norton browser your default browser, you will never be able to change this setting again (at least not in an easy way) :flushed:

it is easy just go to settings on microsoft edge and ther is a point name standart browser
and then you can change microsoft edge to the standart browser and there can you change it back to edge just push a buttom name standart browser and it is back to normal

I’m already familiar with this procedure. But it wasn’t that easy. Whenever you configured the Edge browser as the default browser using this procedure, it didn’t last long. While you were still using the PC, or at the latest after you restarted it, the Norton browser would revert to the default.
Many users confirm the phenomenon :point_up_2:
