Windows 10: Can not declare IE 11 as default program

Nah, everything looks fairly standard once it's outside out Outlook.

Thanks again *Wink

 

Well then I think you've done an admirable job!

Ok, nix that article, you've exhausted the possible solutions.

The dlls that wouldn't register - not to worry, .NET and Edge have changed a lot of things.
shdoc401 is old ... IE 4
shdocvw - is browser control (probably replaced the above dll)

mshtml though ... that might be something to follow a little further.

Internet Explorer Architecture (Internet Explorer)

If there is a solution it's most likely going to be a registry mod, perhaps with replacement dlls from your pervious OS. This won't be easy for me since I don't have Outlook 2010 to test any of this.

I'll keep thinking and looking, but I don't have anything else now.

Wish I could have been more helpful.

Good luck, there are a lot of well versed members - one of them will probably come along and help find a solution or call the game on account of rain *Wink

I'd assumed the .dll's that wouldn't register was a Win 10 thing. I had the beta 10 for quite a while but didn't pay that much attention to it.

I keep coming back to the fact that links work normally in all Office 2010 apps...except Outlook. So if the solution is a registry tweak, isn't it something in the Office 14 keys rather than the file association keys?

 

Try running SFC - it might correct a SxS winner/loser.

SFC Command - Run in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

I asked for more help from other TF members, so hang in there.

You might consider using the Feedback app to bring this to MS's attention. You need a MS account to use the Feedback app.

 

Appreciate all the help Slarty. But SFC found nothing.





I would go to feedback, but I'd have to get it through the Windows store...which opens for about 1 second then disappears. I've assumed that problem is on their end.

 

That's good though - no integrity issue in SFC *Smile

Store opens fine on this machine.
Try WinKey+R [ wsreset ]

If that doesn't help, try
Store - Re-register in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

The feedback app should already be installed.
Scroll down Start / All apps to Windows Feedback

 

I don't think you've read much of this thread. This is not about search providers.

 

This has to be set in the registry (perhaps the default is corrupted?), see here

 

Please abide by the forum rules - no bumping and also respect the member trying to solve the topic of the thread.

Continuing on the path you're taking might get you banned

 

Regarding the bump, I tried to delete my post but couldn't identify how to (bump just sprang to mind, after all it's not benefiting me in any way if I bump someone Else's post)
Please can you explain how I disrespected the member trying to solve the topic in my post?
How do I delete a post?
Thank you for being so understanding

 

No problem, just thought you should know that some members get banned for not following the rules (bump / multiple posts of the same info)

Perhaps disrespect was a bit strong - mtroxel had pointed out that your suggestion was off target and you posted it again. Could have been a timing thing, but mtroxel quoted your original post before you edited it.

No big deal really - just a heads up. I don't carry any weight around here *Wink
To delete a post - press the edit key
Select Delete this post...



Enter a reason - I use "Junk post" or "Off topic" or even just "Noise" sometimes as the reason
(I write some posts that should be and that I delete too) *Wink
Then press the [ Delete ] button

 

Neither helped. Store comes up, but as soon as you choose an app it disappears.

You're right, it was installed. Deduct another point for the Win 10 start menu (and the score is already in the negative for me). I searched for "Feedback" and the start button search was baffled...took me to the store which doesn't work here. There are other entries in Feedback on this Outlook issue. I just added a link to this thread.

::::looking for link to classic shell::::

 

If you open the Mail app and go to Settings, there is a Feedback link where you can provide feedback for all apps. I have sent this problem in several times. I just don't know how to find out if they are doing anything about it.

Two other tuts for apps
Apps - Re-register in Windows 8 and 10 - Windows 10 Forums
Store Cache - Clear and Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

There's also a trouble shooter in Control Panel - if all else fails ....

Of course - you should know by now that EVERYTHING is either Windows ... or Microsoft ....
That's why there are sooooo many W & M entries on All apps

this is cool with me since my wife's name is Mary, we are W & M
*Roflmao2

Try this method of searching and running things. I'm trying to break some old habits of navigating to the location and launching.

Press the Windows key on your keyboard and start typing.

I just tried it with fee and the Windows Feedback was on the top of the list.
Cool eh? IT's probably been around since Vista or Win7, but I never used it before - watadunce!

William (aka Bill)

 

That's how I was searching. Interestingly enough, when I did it earlier all I got was Feedback from the Windows store. Since you convinced me it was already here and I found and opened it, now search sees it.

Windows search is way too Macintosh-ish for my tastes. The search that never fails is c:\dir /a /s filename*.*
