It's not Maxthon fault. It's new Microsoft's "feature" to promote own software.

Check link for instructions how to change Maxthon to default browser http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/how-set-your-default-browser-windows-10-just-5-steps

It does not work in the latest Insider build of Windows 10 14257 issued yesterday.  Maxthon does not even show in the list, unfortunately.

Lol, that's why I "left" Insider for now and stick with normal, stable release.

Thanks for the info No.1.

Beg to differ, no idea why you aren't seeing Mx or any of the others you might have installed

When you go to Set Defaults by app, does Maxthon show in the programs list? Then in Choose defaults for this program, are html/http etc all listed are selected? If not, then that would be why windows isn't showing it, as it doesn't know that Maxthon is able to handle those file types/protocols. If it's all correct, well... then it's just Windows playing silly buggers.

I solved the problem by uninstalling 4.9.0.3000 and re-installing 4.9.0.2900 which was set as Default.  I then installed 4.9.0.3000 over that and all is well.  I tried all of your suggestions and none of them worked which is why I tried this method, which did work.

yes is the way, otherwise you can't allowed maxthon as default browser, how is working without clean installation?

windows 10 : I can't find maxthon in the default list.. and maxthon is not in windows store either..

the uac prompt me each time I launch maxthon and I haven't find a way to disable it only for maxthon until now, but I keep searching...

Try my solution in this thread.  http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/topic/18746-cant-set-maxthon-as-default-browser-on-windows-10/&do=findComment&comment=97366 and see if that works.  It worked for me.
