Based on some of the questions coming up this morning this deserves a thread of it's own. While I am writing from a machine running Windows 10 I do not yet have any experience with JAWS in a Windows 10 environment, so none of what follows will be a "How to do this with JAWS" guide but rather, "where do you find the settings you need to change" guide.
Both IE11 and Edge are included in every stock version of Windows 10, but Edge is set as the default web browser. Since Edge is one of those things, like IE before it, that is tightly bound to the operating system itself I do not recommend that you even attempt removing it. It is a simple enough matter to make sure that the browser of your choice will be used at all times instead of Edge. If that happens to be something other than IE11, just make sure to install that browser on your system first and then substitute that browser were I mention IE11 below. You need to tweak your Default App settings. The way I get there is to open up the settings dialog and then enter "default apps" in the search bar. The first returned result in the search is Default App settings and you want to activate that. Another way you can do this, if using search is inconvenient, is opening the Settings dialog, choosing the System dialog, then selecting the Default App pane within the System dialog - it is the next to the last item in the panes listed along the left side. Once the Default Apps dialog is presented, there are what appear to be buttons for the default apps to be used for the following purposes, in order: Email, Maps, Music Player, Photo Viewer, Video Player, Web Browser. For our purposes, you're interested in Web Browser. When you click that button, a context menu pops up directly above showing a list of apps that are installed that are recognized as web browsers, with Edge listed at the very top. If you want IE, it is in this menu and if you navigate to it and select it then IE is permanently assigned as your default web browser. Just close out of the dialogs at this point. After having done this anything that would trigger a web browser to open should open IE11. Brian
