    chm files display graphic content as a little box with an "x"

    ALL my chm files display an "x" in place of graphic content. Those same files display properly on all my other Win 10 Pro machines. I'm currently at 1909 and it seems the problem started as long ago as 1809......... maybe even 1803.

    Any suggestions?

    chm display small box with "x" instead of graphic content

    As a first step, open the folder containing one chm file that is not working. Right-click on a chm file, select Properties, and then check the box that says "unblock". Then try to open the chm and let me know if it is working. Until I read this post, I was unaware of any chm issues on my own system, but I found that Windows is blocking all of my chm files.

    .chm file display issue

    can't open CHM file on win10

    Hi xalspaero

    Chm files should open in Windows 10 without any issue

    Right click a chm file and choose Open with

    Does Microsoft Help HTML Executable appear in the list?

    If not, scroll down and click 'More Apps'

    Again check for Microsoft Help HTML Executable, if that s not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC'

    Navigate to find: C:\Windows\hh.exe

    If that file does not exist, click the link below to download HTML Help Workshop and Documentation, which will contain hh.exe
