Windows
Windows 10 and Windows 11 both have a built-in app called Tips. Just type tips in the search bar (magnifying glass at the bottom) to access. Check out keyboard shortcut tips, too.
One tip is how to change which apps open at startup. (video version)
If you want to change your default web browser (or any other default apps), in the Search bar at the bottom of your screen, type Default Apps. Click on the current browser under Web browser and select which browser you would prefer.
This also works for changing other default settings such as maps, email, music player, etc. Click on "Choose default apps by file type" to decide how to open specific file types such as PDFs.
