    Can't open attached files


    Hello everyone,


    I'm totally new to this and need help.


    I've recently been upgraded to Windows 10 and really struggling. find that I can't open files attached to my emails. I had this problem and tried to get Adobe DC but I had to pay a monthly fee as I remember. Is there anything I can get downloaded for free.


    I sort of wish I hadn't changed from my old windows version as this new windows 10 is totally confusing for me.

    :)

  2. "open with" and opening of files slow

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. Since when are you facing this issue?

    To fix issues with Word documents opening slowly, I suggest you to attach a different template to the document and check if that helps. Follow the below steps to attach a templates.

    Steps:-

    1. Open Word application.
    2. Click on File and select Options.
    3. Select Add-Ins from the list.
    4. Under Manage Select Templates and click on
      Go.
    5. In the pop up, type Normal in the Document template.
    6. Click on Ok.

    To fix issues with Adobe files opening slowly follow the below troubleshooting steps and check if that helps.

    Steps:-

    1. Open Adobe application.
    2. Click on Edit.
    3. Select Preferences option.
    4. Tap on General.
    5. Uncheck Enable protected mode at startup.

    Hope it helps.
