XYplorer Beta Club
Hi,
I was using XYplorer as the default file manager for a bit in Windows 10 but decided to revert back to File Explorer as the default in 11. I got an error message saying "You need administrator rights to change this setting".
So I quit XYplorer, selected "Run as Administrator", approved the UAC prompt but then I go into the menu and see the same message.
Windows 11 - Unable to untick "XYplorer is default file manager"

READ THIS AND DO IT!!!
Please include the following information:
1) Your XYplorer Version (e.g., v28.00.0801)
2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.
When attaching an Image, please use the Attachment tab at the bottom of your post and click "Add files".
