How to open IE10 in Metro version

I believe that many friends have found that the Metro version of IE10 that can be used normally can only be opened in the desktop version after a certain day. Of course this It's not a system error, it's caused by the default browser. If IE10 is not the default browser under the current computer, then IE10 will not be able to open the Metro version.
