Windows 10 can automatically open certain websites through their apps if installed instead of using a browser. This can include apps like Twitter, Microsoft To-Do and more.

Here is how to turn on or off these associated apps so that they can be opened in browser:

Access Windows Settings (shortcut keys: Win key +I)

accessing Windows 10 settings

Next, go to Apps and click on Apps for websites.
