    Settings App vs. Control Panel?


    one day the control panel will be completely gone.


    but microsoft has to take baby steps to avoid problems.

    and other companys will have to convert their control panel files to work with the settings app.

    Cannot change the default apps by using control panel

    Original Title: Cannot change default apps.

    As said, I cannot change the default apps by using control panel > ... > Default Apps tab.

    I cannot change any of the default programs. I use paint.net to edit/view photos and I cannot set it to the default program even though it is on the list, it does not change and i'm stuck with the default photo viewer. This happens with any other app actually,
    I cannot change the default music player there, nor browser or anything.

    I followed these steps as suggest by a microsoft engineer, post 2, and later on, no avail.

    Can't change default apps in Windows 10

    I refuse to use work arounds, I'd like a proper solution is possible, thank you.

  2. Window sizes of apps get reset to the original sizes.

    Window sizes of apps get reset to the original sizes.: So I found an issue with the window sizes of apps. The window sizes of built in UWP apps, like settings, and built in OG apps, like Task Manager, and third party apps get reset to their original sizes. How do I disable this feature like using the Regedit? Thanks in advance!...
