  1. Default authentication choice of Windows Security-Hello for apps


    Hello,Every time I need to access an app via Okta or via Edge, I would like that Windows Security-Hello ask me for the last log-in choice or by default by the Face choice.Instead, Windows always asks me for the Fingerprint and it is really annoying having always to select More choices > Face every few minutes that I access an app.Is this a bug? is there any workaround to make Windows offer always the last choice or set it always by the desired choice Face?

    :)

    Default app by file choice.

    That's the functionality which should be part of Windows!

    Default app by file choice.

    Hi, this free program should give the flexibility you need.

    You can even create your own command for the program associated with a particular file type. ('Edit selected....').

    E.g.

    If both instances of Word are shown in this list you can use that.

    Problem with Outlook 2016 not remembering default PDF app choice

    Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder though if the issue actually has anything to do with the Adobe Reader? When I first observed the problem Edge was showing as the default PDF reader in Outlook's drop down list. It was possible to select Adobe Reader from the list, but even though we put a check in the box for Outlook to remember the choice it didn't. After setting the Adobe Reader as the default in Control Panel/Default Programs/ the icon on PDF files changed to the Adobe Reader icon and it replaced Edge as the first app in Outlook's drop down list, however Outlook continues to ask and doesn't save the choice.

    One thing I wanted to try was repairing Microsoft Office, but strangely there is no entry in Programs and Features. I wonder if there's a way to run the repair from the command line?
