.acsm files to digital edition

Hi Paul,

How are you trying to set it as default? Which version of Windows 10 are you using? To check, type
winver on the search bar, then press the Enter key. If you're using Windows 10 1709, kindly follow these steps to set a default app for your ACSM file:

• Type settings on the search bar.
• Click on Settings, then click on Apps.
• On the left panel, click on Default apps.
• Scroll down, then click on Choose default apps by file type.
• Look for .acsm, click on Choose a default or the currently selected default app for it, then select the app that you want to use instead.
• Close the window.

If those steps do not resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps that were provided by

ADE cannot be set as the default program for acsm files

Hi Siggrub,

What happens when you're trying to Set Adobe Digital Editions as the default program for .acsm files? Are you getting an error message? In the meantime, try to set the default program for .acsm files by using this method:

• Right-click on an .acsm file and select Properties.
• Under the General tab, set the default program by clicking
  Change.
• If Adobe Digital Editions is not on the list, click on More apps, then
  Look for another app on this PC.
• Locate and select Adobe Digital Editions.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Default programme to open file type ACSM

I am using Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 2.

I can no longer open an acsm file with Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.1. The default programme is now ADEAutoUpdater_451 and it doesn't open the file. I can't change it back to ADE because this doesn't appear in the list of available apps. How can I set the
default back to ADE?
