Windows lockdown - change default browser

OA

Hey everyone,

i am currently wondering how i am supposed to change the default browser for the classic
lockdown mode for Windows Classic or Windows Modern devices to open URLs.

The info box for the lockdown says that the lockdown mode is using the default browser.

I have set Google Chrome to the default browser on my device. But when i open the bookmark it
opens the bookmark with the lockdown browser and not Google Chrome. And then i get the error
message that my browser is not supported and that i have to use other other browsers like chrome,
firefox, edge, opera...

I found here that you can give an intent to a url. But i saw that it worked (i guess) with android only:

MC v15.3.3
Agent version 15.3.3.45
Windows Classic / Windows Modern
Windows 10 Pro - latest updates

Thanks!

With windows classic enrollment, please try if below scripts works?

Create a lockdown template to display a tile for the browser (chrome this case).

<td> <a href="[file://%25PROGRAM%20FILES%25/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %20--app=http:/www.soti.net%20--start-maximized]file://%PROGRAM FILES%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app=http://www.soti.net --start-maximized"><img src="<ANY_ICON.png>" width=310px alt="" border=0></a> </td>

or

<td> <a href="file://%PROGRAM FILES%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app=http://www.soti.net --start-maximized"><img src="<ANY_ICON.png>" width=310px alt="" border=0></a> </td>

or home app

browser:// - Opens a webpage in the default browser using HTTP.
browsers:// - Opens a webpage in the default browser using HTTPS.

browser://www.soti.net
