It's depend from the traslation agency.
Mondadori (for Windows books) requests 'di default'; others agencies request 'predefinito' 'in base alle impostazioni predefinite'.

default - predefinito
They are equivalent. If you have to use it as an adjective, you might want to use "predefinito". A common phrase in Italian is: "Per default", meaning that the parameters have been pre-defined.

both correct
both are correct,it mostly depends on the client's preference. If the clients wants you to follow Microsoft's terminology, use "impostazioni predefinite".

predefinito
Tis is an adjective in Italian and is the translation of the term default in Microsoft glossary. However, often we use the same English term "default".
