    Cannot select default app for file type


    Hello,

    I am trying to set a default application for a file extenstion but it doesn't save.

    Cannot select default app for file type 6183fc90-0271-45e6-9d59-fcdf102ff21c?upload=true.png

    When doing that, it opens the application in the correct application: notepad++, but it doesn't update it to windows, so when i try to just double click on the file, it still opens it in normal notepad. When trying to set the default program again, the checkbox is unclicked(without the correct mark) and thats basicly an endless loop.

    Please help me

    :)

    Can't Select Photoshop as a Default App


    Hi
    I've just downloaded Photoshop CC2018 and tried to make it the default photo viewer, but it does not appear in the list of apps that I can select from. Have also tried doing the same for opening .jpg files, but just the same, no Photoshop! I have rebooted the system a couple of times but it makes no difference.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    setting default app by file type

    How do you set the Kindle app to be defaulted to .mobi file type? I don't find the .mobi file type listed as a file type.
