    "Choose another app" doesnt work


    Hi,I bought fresh new build PC with Win 11 Home with latest updates and drivers and when I try to Choose another app on any file it just doesnt work. For example for video files mp4, avi, etc.. I have also VLC player and MPC-HC player which I want change it to but its not working. When click on "Choose another app" nothing happens. Im trying to google solution whole day and I cant find anything..its not working at all with any files. I cant even change it in Windows Settings or anywhere else. Not even in Properties. When I click on it nothing happens. Same thing everywhere.I tried admin cmd

    :)

    Need help with getting "Choose a default" to work in Photo Viewer


    Hello again. You are correct about that, meaning, I did state I had tried "open with".

    Turns out, by simply using "open with" the problem was not solved. By taking the extra step after selecting "open with" and not selecting Photoshop there as one would expect to work, but instead selecting "choose another app" and then selecting Photoshop listed there, the setting held. It's certainly a convoluted way of selecting one's desired photo viewer.

    Thanks again.

    Help choosing a new case

    Don't really know how to help you. You are being vague. Here is what I would do. Choosing a case is aesthetics first. Shop NewEgg and list the cases you like and list them. Members will suggest the best choice from your selections.
