    Windows 10 Mail gives option to save or open mail attachments but only saves


    As the subject. I try to open an attachment (pdf) in Windows Mail but right clicking gives me the option to save or open and it will only save, left clicking simply saves it ... I get no way to open the attachment.


    I've found the same question asked before on this frum and the thread is closed with no solution

    :)

  2. Windows 10 mail image attachments cant "save as"

    Hi Brambly,

    As you are facing issue with the Windows 10 mail image attachments.

    We have figured out and recognized that, you will not find option to
    Save, print or move
    except the Copy option available for the Windows 10 mail image attachments.

    Hence I suggest you to provide the feedback as this is by latest design;

    Step on how to provide feedback

    • Open the image you want to copy or save.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Right hand side select the feedback option and provide feedback for the same.
    If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you further.

    Thank You.

    Windows mail will only save attachement

    On one of my Windows 10 computers, Windows Mail will not allow me to open directly an attachment. On double click, the save dialogue appears. On right click and open, the save dialogue appears.

    I want to be able to directly open attachments (I know it saves in a temporary folder, that's not the point).

    There are plenty posts on the Microsoft forums discussing this. I am not posting them here so no one is tempted to waste time going over them, but Google will list a graveyard of dead ends.

    This is not ubiquitous behavior. One possible related piece of information is that I have McAfee DLP Endpoint and McAfee Management of Native Encryption installed on said computer - I must keep these, so if these are the reason for the problem it would be useful to stop my search (I can't uninstall to check).

    I also have no problem changing

    which is where my working computer saves temporary attachments.

    Windows 10 Mail attachments- save only won't open

    I am unable to open attachments in windows 10 Mail; only option is to save them.

    They do appear, but when clicked or even right-clicked, the save or save as window opens. Not interested in saving, just opening !

    Any thoughts ?
