How do I set the default app for browsing to IE 11 ?
Have tried this:

...but doesn't work for me - constantly nagged every time I open a link whether I would like to use edge and I flippin wouldn't.
I have been using Firefox Portable for several years and after updating to Windows 10 I can set it as the default app for web browsing. Within settings I can change the default app from IE to Edge but have no way of browsing to the location of my FF portable (in my documents folder). When I try setting it as default browser from within FF it just brings me to the Windows settings where I get stuck again.
Can I set my FF portable to my default browser?
Windows 10 still retains the list of sites visited even when "in private browsing" is used. Why?
View 2 RepliesI have recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. My web browsing is extremely slow, I somehow feel that this started before the upgrade and may not be related to the upgrade. I have to refresh some pages as many as 10 times before the page will load and overall web browsing is extremely slow.

View 1 RepliesI was browsing internet and i suddenly got bsdod. Screen stopped responding and after few moments i got this blue screen.
System:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V-LX

i have no overclocks on my system.
I upgraded recently to Windows 10, my computer has always had some random BSOD problems but now it's definitely worse, it used to be only while watching videos (on windows media player) then occasionally on gaming,
Now it even happens while browsing and the errors vary from one type to the other, no real constant. I read a bit online and I tried doing a verifier check but my CPU went into a blue screen bootloop so that didn't really solve my problem (had to reopen in safe mode and undo the colossal mess that was)
Not sure where else to go from there. I followed the guidelines and have uploaded a zip of the debug log, I sure hope that will give a good starting point...
My windows 10 browsing history recently started coming up empty most of the time. How it might could be fixed?

New zip correct file....
I upgraded an Asus notebook and a HP Pavilion desktop to windows 10. both now have constant script errors on every page I visit. I went on internet options and tried every possibility of checking/unchecking browsing settings to no avail. Is there a fix for this? Both are on IE.
View 2 RepliesI recently cleaned my computer (got dust out and repasted the heat sink on my processor). I wouldn't even consider myself an amateur computer person, but I know how to use Google and can generally troubleshoot common problems.
To the point: At some point after I put my computer back together and hooked it up to my monitor (that had no previous problems) it started going black for 1 - 2 seconds while I use File Explorer (just browsing) on my computer. The problem is frequent but inconsistent as to when it will do it. If I'm doing something and need to navigate, after opening a file it will sometimes just go black for 1 - 2 seconds and come back as if nothing happened. If say I acted as though the monitor did not go black and pressed enter on a highlighted file, when the monitor refreshed properly whatever I did executed properly.If I'm watching a movie or playing a video game or browsing the internet* or alt-tab between programs on already opened files I do not have this problem. It only occurs when I browse files on my harddrive.
*after I wrote this I went to watch an embedded youtube video and pressed play and it did blink for less than a second after I hit the play button (did not go full screen yet). If I notice anything else I will update this.
One very peculiar thing and I don't even know if it's related or not, is if I leave my computer idle for 2 - 3 hours and come back I cannot get the screen to come up at all (the monitor acts like there is no input) and not only that, my computer reset button is unresponsive. I literally have to do a hard reboot to get my computer to respond. This only happens if I leave it alone for long periods. It doesn't happen as long as I'm using the computer.
Upgraded my Windows machine to 10 last week. I didn't want to take any chances so I did a totally clean install. I haven't made any tweaks or installed any programs. My laptop is an ASUS dual core AMD with 4GB of memory and a 750GB hard drive.
When I use Microsoft Edge it takes 3 seconds to open the browser and then when I type a website address it takes 7 seconds to fully load. I installed Chrome and while it's faster, it's not by much.
I have another laptop running Windows 7 on the same network. It opens websites almost instantly. It does have better hardware - Intel i7, quad core, 8gb of ram, 500gb ssd. However, web browsing isn't a resource intensive activity so I would suspect hardware differences would not have a material impact.
I have had an issue of my computer Blue screening multiple times over the past few weeks. The frequency has increased and I cannot replicate the issue on demand, it comes and goes by itself. The first time I noticed this was when my computer BSODed when I was streaming a video to my Chromecast. Once the computer restarted, it did not have any further issues. However, these past few days when I was browsing the net, my computer was BSOD on its own without really doing anything resource intensive. Is there any way this can be fixed?

View 1 RepliesI upgraded from 7 to 10 and began getting crashes when playing LoL and Fallout 3 and occasionally when sitting at the desktop.
I tried making a clean install and have subsequently had a few crashes.
1. After trying to install the Windows 7 sound driver (W10 not available)
2. After messing around with the playback device settings
3. While playing League of Legends
4. While on Chrome after restarting and finishing the LoL game in point 3
My issue doesn't really happen while playing games. It happened once while I was in a game. I simply spend more time not playing games, so imo it makes sense that this crash happens while I'm not playing games. I don't know.
The primary display goes solid green and the secondary screen goes black. The audio - if playing - repeats the last few miliseconds of whatever was playing just before the screen changed.
e: I guess I should mention that this doesn't happen very frequently. Usually once every few days. The quickest it's been to repeat itself was when it happened two days in a row, but after that it didn't happen again until a few days later.
This started shortly after I installed the latest cumulative update a couple of weeks ago. I had been using IE as my default browser, I was in here reading and my whole system locked up. That happened about 3 times, then I moved to FireFox. Under Firefox, it would not freeze completely, my mouse would still work, but my Keyboard would be locked up and clicking on things doesn't do anything. Everything ran generally well before the update. If I stay out of desktop browsers it doesn't freeze, if I use Edge it won't freeze.
View 1 RepliesI upgraded my video card to a MSI Radeon R9 390 recently. But my Motherboard is a Gigabyte Model: GA-870A-UD3. It is running on PCI-e 2.0 rather than 3.0 but I don't know how to verify that this is what is causing the BSOD.
I am also running two types of RAM in my computer:
Corsair 2x 2GB RAM
Kingston 2x 8GB 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11
I have a Corsair HX650 as a powersupply. I would've thought that this PSU is sufficient for the hardware that I'm running.
I play games such as GTA V, Starcraft II, Counter Strike: GO and it crashes at random times - sometimes even in the menu screen.
Look forward to hearing back form you and telling me what type of tests I can do to try and find the root cause.

Today my computer has started crashing for no obvious reason giving me a bluescreen. No errors found in the event log and it crashed while just browsing the web. No newly installed applications just before the crash as I can recall.
Message on lblue screen: If you want more information you can search for DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (L1C63x64.sys)
I turn my pc on, click on firefox browser and pull up yahoo. Everything's cool and then during browsing the server not found page comes up. I then go into settings reconnect belkin router if not connected and start browsing again. Happens every time I get on my pc. Been going on ever since downloaded windows 10 !!
View 1 RepliesBSOD problems. They occur during general use like web browsing, file management, and at any time really.
Here is a zip of what I was told to upload.
DESKTOP-38MB8BC-Fri_12_11_2015_173625_85.zip
I just finished updating from Windows 7 to Windows 10. My PC has a dual NIC and I am connected to two subnets. I am fully able to browse subnet A, the same as I could in Windows 7.
However, I am unable to automatically browse subnet B. I previously could in Windows 7.
In other words, when I go to "Network" on windows 10, all the Computer names on subnet A get populated. None of those on subnet B appear. However, if I manually type in the name of a device on subnet B (DEVICENAME) it will open it and I can browse the contents.
I had no problem in Windows 7 with browsing both subnets. I suspect there is a setting or difference in Windows 10, but I'm unable to find it. I've checked and the Computer Browser service is running, but it seems to only list PC's connected to the one NIC (subnet A) and not the other.
I have had windows 10 for about a month now and have had no problems. Today some updates were installed and straight after that my browsing speed became pretty much unusable. I have 160mbps download speed and have no problem browsing on other devices.
I cant watch a simple youtube video or download anything and am a bit lost.
Since i upgraded to windows 10 i am facing browsing issues i will state here the error i get.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED
these 2 are the most common and i get them every time when i open a pages.. i can not pay online on any website because when i type to go to payment page its one of these errors cancels it.
FYI ... i used both Chrome and default Internet Explorer i face this issue on both of them.
So while gaming and browsing my computer will just randomly shut off for no real apparent reason but i am receiving a bugcheck code of 0, i posted the files below....
Update:
While looking through the even files i found that most of the time this would show up
- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
- <System>
<Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power" Guid="{331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4}" />
<EventID>41</EventID>
[Code] .....
These are the errors that I am receiving that results in pc shut off and no restart...
Did a cpu stress test and just after about a minute my computer turned off so im guessing its that but I am not sure the steps i have to do to see whats wrong with it...
I'm having for a while a BSOD Bad pool caller. All the drivers and software in my OS are up to date. I don't think it's a memory problem, the Windows Memory Diagnostic gave me no errors, I also tried the SFC /SCANNOW to try fixing the file systems, and also chkdsk /r to check and the disk integrity, but everything seems cool. I did all types of virus/malware scans with mcafee and malwarebytes, my system still seems clean.
I'm using a ACER Aspire E5 - 511 - P29D: Intel Pentium quad core processor N3540.
It doesn't happen at a particular moment, I can be browsing on the Internet or watching a movie. And it's not frequent, it happens every 3 or 4 days. It started 6, 7 weeks ago, after I did a upgrade to Windows 10. I haven't made any change to my computer yet.
When I am downloading something with utorrent the memory usage in task manager slowly creeps to 100% and makes my computer unusable and even if I shut down utorrent the memory usage does not change and I have to restart my PC. Same goes for browsing facebook or any other sites. Is there a solution to this? I really don't want to reinstall my system.
