Step 1: Open the Settings
First, you need to access the settings on your computer. On Windows, click on the Start button, then go to Settings. On macOS, click on the Apple menu and select System Preferences. For Linux users, you may need to navigate to the System Settings or Preferences menu, depending on your distribution.

Once you’re in the settings, look for the Default Applications or Default Programs section. This is where you can change the default applications for various tasks, including web browsing.
Step 3: Change the Web Browser
In the Default Applications section, locate the Web Browser option. On Windows, it might be labeled as “Web Browser,” while on macOS, it may be simply called “Web Browser.” Click on the current default browser, which should be Google Chrome, and then select Internet Explorer from the list of available browsers.
Step 4: Confirm the Change
After selecting Internet Explorer, you may be prompted to confirm the change. Click “OK” or “Apply” to proceed. Your computer will then save the new default browser setting.
