i have a problem, pls don't advise me to switch browsers or OSes right now i won't acknowledge you so windows won't recognize chrome or let me set it as a default browser. mostly not a problem unless i open a window from another app. chrome is not an option and not in the store.

i will switch to something else in the near future but right now i have too much going on to deal with a possibly frustrating process

I hate that this is the best solution I could find but here you go: superuser.com/questions/84...

Windows “Open With” application not appearing as an option

For some reason lately I've experienced this issue with trying to set a default application for an extension. The most common ways are the following: Right Click > Open With > Choose Default Program

is chrome listed in the installed apps page? can you run the installer manually? support.google.com/chrome/answe...
