Tony Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 stop sending me popups - or if you do sort it out i have had 3 popups this morning telling me maxthon is not my default browser - as a matter of fact it is - but that apart if i click on the popup to let it set maxthon as default i get an error message about mxup.dll and windows10 sets edge as my default browser so get it sorted or stop sending whatever it is that generates the popup - dont suppose you will do anything - like most things user input will simply be ignored Tony - Vivaldi 4 on Windows 10 64Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorbanWolf Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Confirmed here. When mx5 asks about becoming default then win10 resets it to edge. This feature not only doesn't work, it also makes things worse. Don't you people test versions before pushing it into the forum? This thing goes for several months, maybe even since win10 came out.

Kilmatar Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yes. This already a routine work after every MX update: 1. Install MX 2. Go to Settings and manually set default browser from Edge to MX because MX can't correctly setup themself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7twenty Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 No issues here with 5.2.0.2000 portable. Set to default in settings, option is greyed out in the menu. All links open with MX without issue. No popups asking for reset anything. No need to manually set or restore any settings. Last time I had that issue was maybe a year ago? maybe 2 W10 updates ago? Might be an installer version issue only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 i am on portable which is why i get the error for mxup.dll i guess as its not in the portable install - am running 5.2.1.100 which is the pulled beta so maybe its an issue with that release although i have seen it on other betas after the 3 popups this morning have not seen it again Tony - Vivaldi 4 on Windows 10 64Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the others with the issue, there's not much info to go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of submissions to Microsoft about this but nothing has happened yet.

Tony Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 try clicking it - on my windows 10 system it resets the default back to edge not only is it a pain in the arse it does not work how about a comment @BugSir006 - sort something for a change Tony - Vivaldi 4 on Windows 10 64Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMax Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Pain in the arse and useless? That's typical. Mercifully I've only seen it once. If I see it again it won't get a third chance as I'll uninstall Maxthon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-ody- Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I got a different warning today... maxthon launches, I can see briefly the quick access, then I see a splash screen asking if I want to authorize maxthon to run on this computer ; no matter if I say "yes" or if I close the splash screen : QA loads after I hit a button... no way to make a screen capture, nothing else works while this window shows.

Hmmm ... that's not good. I thought this pop-up nonsense would stop when I upgraded to 5.2.1.1000. I think I'm going to upgrade to Vivaldi.

DaveMax Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 This topic is getting weird. I started the thread 'Default Browser Nag Screen, Really?', then it got merged, now someone else is the author. I haven't copyrighted the thread title or anything, but I am interested in whether this pop-up: ... shown over the systems tray of my Win 7 desktop has been stopped. I haven't seen it since. Was it a feature of the install? Did it come directly from Planet Maxthon? Inquiring minds want to know lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it's now also used for reminding users that Maxthon isn't the default browser. It shouldn't show if MX is the default browser. If it does show again then it's more than likely because windows has decided to change the default browser and mxup.exe has detected that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
