I'm going under the assumption you're running Win 11?

Anyhow, instructions:
Right click on your Start button and click "settings"
Click "Apps"
Click "Default Apps"
Scroll down to "Google Chrome"
At the very top, it says "Make Google Chrome Your Default Browser" with a button to the right of it that says "Set Default." Click that puppy.

That should solve your problem.
