SAMSUNG NP940X3L NOTEBOOK Windows 10. Cannot access the start screen at all or get to settings. CHROME is default browser. Cannot get to settings.

    Thanks for your advice but found the problem. The fact that the computer is also touch screen, I must have touched tablet mode on right part of machine by notifications and the more I tried to remedy the situation, the deeper the hole I dug myself into. Thanks again.

Hi,
try to press the "windows" button on your keyboard and then you will see the settings options. Click on it and you can access to the control panel.
Good luck.

SOURCE: After Chrome uninstall Web page icons gone

I fully agree and sympathize with you.

I faced a similar problem and here is the solution for it.

First uninstall Google Chrome (From what you have written; you have already uninstalled it).

Go to "Set Default Programs" (Control Panel>Default Programs>Set Default Programs)

Select Internet Explorer and click Set this program as default

Select Microsoft Office Outlook and click Set this program as default

Run Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and browse to location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Ext and change the value data of all DWORD entries from 1 to 0.

Launch Internet Explorer first; launch your Mail client (hopefully Microsoft Officer Outlook).

Check if all is well and you are now able to open links from within your Mail client.

If all is well now, you may change your Default Program settings to Firefox.

P.S. Just remember to say thanks :) and you can always change the Firefox icons, you do know how?

SOURCE: how to change my default browser because now my

Hi. Since you failed to indicate the operating system of your computer, I've shown steps for Windows XP,Windows Vista or Windows 7.

For Windows XP:

1. Open the Start Menu, and click Set Program Access and Defaults.
2. It will open the Add or Remove Programs window, with the Set Program Access and Default button selected on the left.

Below the "Choose a Configuration" header, click Custom and it will list all the default programs options it found for Default Web Browser, Default E-mail Program, and Default Media Player.

3. Under "Choose a default Web browser", tick Internet Explorer and make sure that all boxes are ticked for "Enable Access to this program."

For Windows Vista or 7, the steps above are almost the same but another way is to :

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. If a message is displayed asking if you want Internet Explorer to be your default browser, click Yes. That's all you need to do.
  3. If a message does not appear, go to the next step.
  4. Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
  5. Click the Programs tab, and then click Make default.
  6. Click OK, and then close Internet Explorer.
  7. Internet Explorer is now the default web browser.

Hope this helps.

Go to control panel, select "Default Programs" option and in the browser's customization menu set Google Chrome as your default browser to get solved with your problem.

Testimonial: "This was very helpful to find where the default was. When I went to Chrome config and set it as default it didn't change the XP default the first time"
