I'm hoping there is a quick fix for this because it's starting to get on my nerves.

For the last two days every time I turn the PC on windows comes up with the box asking me which internet browser I want to install and use. I'm already using a browser I am happy with and I click that option each time in the selection but no matter what I do the bloody pop-up comes up every time I start the computer!

How do you stop it asking you as there are no check boxes on the screen to say you don't want it appearing again?

How to Block/Disable Browser Choice Update Screen on Windows?
1.Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Run dialog box (Goto Start Menu > Run, or, press [ Windows Key ] + [ R ] to access the Run dialog box.)
2.Navigate to the following Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BrowserChoice
3.Create a new entry by right-clicking on the right pane and choosing “New DWORD“
4.Name it “Enable” and set the value to 0. This will stop displaying the Browser Choice screen. If you want to revert back, set this value to 1.
