Windows 10: default email for windows 10 no default

Windows 10 default e-mail client

I cannot seem to get my default e-mail client straight. ". When I try to e-mail a document, I get the following message:

"There is no e-mail program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an e-mail program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs, Control Panel."



Also, I do not know how to create an association in the Default Programs.


Please help me. I am so frustrated. Has Microsoft fixed this problem yet? Frustrated is not the word , please fix this issue.


Thanks.


:)

 

email will not set as a default

I just got windows 10 and I can't get either of my 2 email accounts to set as the default. I am trying to get either Windows Mail or Windows Outlook to be my default but neither will work. I have gone to control panel, set defaults, but the only mail
listed in the defaults list is Windows Mail. I have set it as the default but when I try to send a picture via email it tells me there is no default email account. (in the default list it shows Windows Mail as being the default mail) If I right click on
a photo in My Pictures folder I can't use the feature there to send a photo with email either. I finally decided to open a Outlook account to see if that would work but it is not in the list of defaults to choose from. Help! I have tried for days to do
this. The emails work good for mail but as I said, I can't send a photo.
