Windows 10: "Find My Device" Default On or Off???

Does anyone know what the W10 default for "Find My Device" is??? After a fresh install is it always set to On or Off. Every laptop I install a fresh copy of W10 on, it is "ON"But everyone else says that it is "Off"But to change all of the ones I install W10 on you must login to your Microsoft Account to do so.So then this is the question:Is the default ON or OFF???I just installed W10 on a Dell Latitude Rugged 7204 and it is set to "ON"Best regards,

:)

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
