Windows 10: Change Windows default email action?

I used Gmail in Chrome to send/receive my email. When I click on an email address that is on a website or anywhere else, Windows by default opens it's own email window and wants me to use that rather than Gmail to send & receive messages. I want no part of that and would like to shut off Windows bringing up that Window by default or better yet bring up my Gmail/Chrome window. How do I shut off this default? Suggestion, please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

"There is no associated email program to perform the requested action,install an email program or,if one is already installed,create an association in the Default Programs control panel"

Hello,

I suggest you to create an ssociate in the default apps and check if this helps.

Follow the below steps:

• Click on Start and select Settings.
• Click on System.
• From left pane select Default apps.
• Under Email choose a default app and check if this helps.

Write us back with the status of the issue to assist you further.

 

setting for default action when replacing file


Is there a windows 10 setting that changes the default action when a file by the same name replaces it? Currently my PC appends (1) or (2) etc which causes me to have to do a lot of extra steps.

 

there is no email program associated to perform the requested action

I'm sure what you mean re User Accounts what is listed under Mail. There were no mail references. Same with Set defaults by app.
