Chrome 57 Stable now prompts new users on Windows 10 to set Chrome as default browser

Reported by rdni...@wheatleypark.org, Mar 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Load Chrome on new user on Domain joined Windows 10/Server 2016
2. User gets prompted to set Chrome as default browser and pin the taskbar
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
The group policy to set page to load on startup and set Chrome as the default browser are set. there should be no user prompt to do this. Also the new prompt mentions Edge - we are running LTSB which does not even include Edge. 

What went wrong?
Chrome prompt overriding Group policy set homepage (which opens as a secondary tab) and un needed user prompts. No apparent GPO setting to disable this - unless I'm missing something?

Did this work before? Yes 56

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.98  Channel: stable

Is this the process you filed to set Chrome as default?

Hi,

No - I used the policy in the admx file. However, I did follow the
instructions that you pointed me towards and that does seem to resolve the
issue.

Thanks,

Roger
