In Windows 7 it is under Internet Options, or in Windows 10 under
Settings.
Choose Default Apps
>From there, scroll down to Choose Default Apps by filetype.  Scroll down to
.html.  Click on whatever it is currently set to, such as Google Chrome.
Change it to Microsoft Edge or something different.  Then close settings,
reboot the computer, go back to settings and change the Default App for
.html back to your previous App.

Now try looking at HTML reports in GnuCash.  You may still need to wait
several minutes before they appear.
