Windows – Change the default browser automatically on startup (Windows 10)

batchdefault settingsgoogle-chromeinternet explorerwindows

I've just gotten a new laptop from university and everytime I change my default browser to Chrome (by default it is internet explorer) it resets to IE when I restart my computer. So I went to the laptop service center on our university. And they were able to tell me that it is happening everytime I connect to a network by default. It's some stupid new policy, and they're not agreeing with it as well.

So it got me thinking about how to make a workaround and I think the best way is to have a program (i.e batch script change the registry or something else) on startup. I've been looking around google and searching different things for quite some time now but I'm not really sure how to do it..

Can someone help me out or send me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

I've written a little program that can do this: Set Default Browser. You could run it on startup. No guarantee it will work for your situation, though.
