My PC runs Windows 7, 64 bit, Internet Explorer 11 as the web browser, no networks, I am administrator, and I am trying to set Vivaldi as my default web browser. I have downloaded Vivaldi.3.7.2218.52.x64 from https//vivaldi.com/download/ and have installed it on my computer, but am unable to set it as the default browser. I have taken the following steps to this end:
On Control Panel > Programs >, Default Programs: On "Set your default programs", I clicked on Vivaldi.
On Control Panel > Programs >, Default Programs: On "Set program access and computer defaults" I clicked on "Custom", and on "Choose a default web browser" I turned on the Vivaldi button, and unchecked "Enable access to this program" for Internet Explorer.
After closing "Control panel" and returning to "Set program access and computer defaults", the Vivaldi radio button had returned to the off setting.
Running the Vivaldi browser as administrator, in "Default Browser" window (where it stated "Vivaldi isn't your default browser"), I clicked on "Set as Default". Then in settings (where it also stated that Vivaldi was not the default browser), I clicked on "Set as Default", but no window opened with default app settings, as the Vivaldi help section stated that it would. On closing and reopening Vivaldi Browser, Vivaldi was still not the default browser.
AS per a suggestion from the Vivaldi Forum, I went to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off. There, I unchecked "Internet Explorer 11". After Windows made the change, I could no longer access the internet through any of my links. Consequently, I went back to Control Panel and re-checked "Internet Explorer 11", which restored internet access. However, my situation remains the same.
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled (run as administrator) Vivaldi Browser, with thwe same results.
Certain websites that I visit are still informing me that my browser is too old to work properly on the site, and certain related features no longer work.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
