On your Windows 11 computer, you may be unable to change the default app for .SVG files. When you right-click on an .SVG file and click Open with…, “Just Once” is the only option shown; there is no “Always” option.<\/p>\n

When right-clicking on a .SVG file and clicking Properties, the properties dialog may not have the “Change” button.<\/p>\n

The .SVG file type may not show up on the Default Apps settings page.<\/p>\n

Right now, .SVG files may be currently set to open in Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n

Resolution<\/h2>\n

Please open an admin Command Prompt<\/a> and run the following command:<\/p>\n

reg.exe delete HKCR\\msedgehtm \/va \/f<\/pre>\n
(To avoid typo errors, copy the command and paste it into the admin command window).<\/em><\/p>\n
Press Enter.<\/p>\n
You should see the output “The operation completed successfully.”<\/em><\/p>\n
Next, download msedgehtm.reg<\/a> (zipped), unzip, and run the enclosed registry file. Click Yes<\/strong> to confirm.<\/p>\n
