How to make “Upload files”selected by default in Insert Media?

1. Add this to your functions.php, or preferably a functionality plugin.

   add_action( 'admin_footer-post-new.php', 'media_manager_default' );
   add_action( 'admin_footer-post.php', 'media_manager_default' );
   
   function media_manager_default() {
       ?>
       <script type="text/javascript">
           jQuery(document).ready(function($){
               wp.media.controller.Library.prototype.defaults.contentUserSetting=false;
           });
       </script>
       <?php
   }

2. If some one it’s still looking for a solution, this solution worked for me for all upload images in any post types and on featured images as well:

   function upload_media_manager_by_default() {
     if ( did_action( 'wp_enqueue_media' ) ) {
       ?>
       <script type="text/javascript">
         jQuery( document ).ready( function ( $ ) {
           wp.media.controller.Library.prototype.defaults.contentUserSetting = false;
           wp.media.controller.FeaturedImage.prototype.defaults.contentUserSetting = false;
         });
       </script>
     <?php
     }
   }
   
   add_action( 'admin_footer', 'upload_media_manager_by_default' );
