Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser manually or through software.

      They say that, but I’ll believe it when I see the implementation.

        They aren’t talking about system administrators. They are talking about 3rd party software presenting a privilege escalation prompt (administrator access) and changing your default browser without you knowing about it

        Its more a issue in China where every browser (read malware) would make itself the default and it’s a pain to change it back.

        Still doable for corporate-managed devices through GPOs, MS Intune, MECM, etc
