My Chrome settings says "Google Chrome is not currently your default browser." But there's no button that allows me to set Chrome as the default browser:

Running Windows 7 x64. Absolutely baffled. Can't seem to find anything on Google. "Run as Administrator" doesn't change anything. IE and Firefox both have their "Make default" buttons present, so I don't think it's a network policy thing? Tried setting FireFox as the default then coming back to Chrome; still nothing.

Try the following.

  1. Press enter image description here key to get search box. Type default and you’ll get Default Programs as a result.
  2. Select Google Chrome and click Set this program as default. Click OK.

On a Mac, click on "System Preferences -> General -> Default web browser" to pick the browser. I'm on OS X El Capitan.

I had the same issue, and I installed chrome again (without removing the first installation), this time by the offline standalone setup, for all users. I now have two chrome installations. I deleted the old one, which didn't delete my history/passwords/bookmarks. But I now have chrome as default browser, and it also showed up in default programs window, which it wasn't before.
