Windows 10: how do i get rid of this popup message window? I cannot find c/programs?

I just had my computer updated and cleaned up, but I still got the message saying window cannot find c/program files.

:)

 

Get rid of startup popup message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action."

How does one get rid of this pop up message?

After reading all the many "There is no email..." posts and much time spent wasted trying non-useful things like associating windows mail as the default email and as the email client for .eml, I have come to realise the primary problem: apparently the windows
mail client cannot be used to send a doc using 'send to email recipient' (mindblowing) AND probably at some time I right clicked and tried to 'send to email recipient' and maybe windows is still trying to do that. See als this dead horse post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...sociated/4861b601-05f1-4287-b436-61bbac9708f4

I can live without 'send to email recipient', perfectly capable of attaching a doc in mail or gmail. mI just want to get rid of the popup after startup.

• I don't want to install any other program - happy with gmail and windows mail as local store of mail & don't need the right click 'send to email recipient' to work. Mailto links in browsers work fine. Loads windows mail
• I have tried clean booting and then doing normal reboot.
• Looking at startup in task manager ? can't see anything obvious there?

Things I tried that don't help because windows mail doesn't email in the way that windows expects)

• I have tried re-assigning defaults by program and .eml filetype. They're all set to windows mail (have also done a 'reset' so windows can set to defaults - which is windows mail.) I have rebooted many times - tried this on and off over last few weeks.
  
• editing regedit to get rid residual outlook as some similar posts have suggested. In particular this one https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-perform/9643d48f-c409-4e4f-8bd6-5d5c2bbaa4de

So any ideas on how to get rid of the startup popup message?

 

Get rid of startup popup message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action."

I agree nothing difficult about it, It's what I do. Gmail is my main tool. As I said.

I don't want to 'send to'. I really truly don't.

I just want to get rid of the message that pops up every time my pC reboots.

I don't really care about windows mail. It's not my primary mail tool. It looks like you may be right though, despite all it's talk of downloading & syncing & being able to setup a pop3 and imap account, and people advising of strange folders where mail
is stored, it appears it doesn't store the mail anywhere I can find even with hidden items ticked on.

As far as the point of the question: "Getting rid of the popup message at startup, without installing anything unwanted", I'm beginning to suspect that the answer is:

• install any old other email client and setup at least 1 account.
• Reboot a few times, hoping the popups go away.
• When one thinks they have, then uninstall the unwanted email program.

So far the thought of doing all that is more annoying than the popups - Sigh...

You have to install an email program. That's what the message is saying: You want to 'send to' but there's no program installed that can 'send to.'

Windows Mail is not an email program - it's an interface for webmail services like Outlook.com, GMail, Yahoo!, etc.

If you don't want to install an email program - I don't - then open your favorite webmail provider - I use GMail - and attach a file in the usual way. Nothing difficult about it.
