Just wondering has anyone come across this issue with pgadmin4? Every time I go to open it, I get the following: Failed to open the system default web browser. Is one installed?.

Thanks

My pgAdmin4 was working fine until today, and then I also received the following:

Failed to open the system default web browser. Is one installed?.

I updated to the most current version and still I received the error.

I did two other things before I fixed the problem so I'm not sure which solved it:

  1. I remembered I got a strange pop up in my browser the day before. I ran a virus scan and a tracking cookie was found, I deleted it.

  2. I changed my default browser from Edge to IE (in Windows 10) and then pgAdmin opened. I then put my default browser back to Edge.
