Default Settings, What Does It Mean?

Eleanor from Lakeland, FL writes:Try as I may, I can not really understand "by default" To me 'fault' has a negative indication. So much is done by default and I am lost to meaning. I'd appreciate your directions. Thanks for helping a learner!!! Eleanor, glad to help out. While "fault" may have a negative connotation in some situations. When it comes to tech, it's a completely neutral word.
