Windows 10: Can't save SVG file

I have Silhoutte Studio Business edition. Since the latest update to Microsoft, when I try to save an SVG file it automatically saves the file as Microsoft Edge; which is useless. I've tried changing the default program that SVG are saved to Chrome but it still saves an MEdge file. For this particular instance, I'm saving a word written in a multicolor font. When it saves as as the MEdge file it takes all the color out of the font and becomes black and white. I am so frustrated.

Hi Johnnie,

Right click an svg file, choose Open With - Choose Another App

At the bottom of the resulting menu, check the box marked, 'Always use this app to open .svg files'

Look for cricut in the list of apps, if it is there, choose that

If it is not there, scroll to the bottom and choose More Apps

If you still cannot find cricut, scroll to the bottom and choose 'Look for another App on this PC'

Locate the cricut program in either C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)

Then click OK

That will reset the file association on svg files . . .

 

Using Paint.net with SVG Files

Hi eyore15

Select the SVG file thats now associated with IE.

Right click it

Click Properties

Click the General tab

Click Change

Scroll through the list

Choose Paint.NET

Click OK

Click Apply then OK

Paint.NET or any other graphics program you choose that can open SVG files should become the default.
