I want to change my app to open with google chrome not IE

I downloaded an app expecting it to open on Chrome but it opened on IE in Windows 10. How may I change it to Google Chrome?
Hi Linc. I'm Greg, a volunteer and 8 year WIndows MVP here to help you.

Go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps and change IE to Chrome. This should do it.

If not you may need to dig into the App's settings to see if there's a way to change it? We can help better if you tell us what app it is.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Hey there, Linc3
Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

You will need to change the default web browser on your device. To do this, please:

Click into search bar/Cortana on the Taskbar - next to start,
Search/enter Default App Settings
Select Default App Settings in the search results Cortana has displayed for you,
Then selecting Web and select Microsoft Edge or the default web browser,
and on the pop up window select Google Chrome.

Please let me know how this works.
