A new feature from Microsoft that allows users to set default apps in Windows 11
Microsoft has announced significant changes to the way Windows controls which apps open certain files by default and how users can pin programs to the taskbar or the Start menu on the desktop.
The tech giant is introducing a new deeplink “uniform Resource Identifier” (URI) that lets developers send users to the right section of the Settings menu when they want to change the way Windows 11 reacts to certain links and file types.
“We will soon introduce a new Settings deeplink URI for apps that will take users directly to the right place in Settings to allow users to change their default settings,” Microsoft said in a blog post.
Additionally, the company announced that it’s giving users more control over which apps are pinned to their desktop, start menu, and taskbar by introducing a new public API that displays a prompt asking you to grant permission to apps before they appear in those UI elements. .
“We will soon introduce a new publicly available API that will allow apps to pin either the primary or secondary pane to the taskbar,” the company said.
According to the company, these two features will first be available to Windows Insider Dev Channel PCs in the coming months before appearing in the general release of the operating system.
