Change Save As File type

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What type of files are you trying to save?
   
2. What type of File formats are you referring to?
   
3. Are you facing this concern with all Websites?
   

However, Try the below suggestions to change the default programs & File associations in Windows 10.

Method 1. Choose a Default Program for specific file types (extensions).

1. Right click on the Start menu and then choose
Control Panel. Set the View by to Small icons and then choose
Default Programs.

2. At Default programs options, choose
set your default programs.

3. At the left pane select the application that you want and then click:

a. Set this program as default to make the selected application as the default application to open all files types that it can handle, or

b. Choose defaults for this program to choose which specific file types the selected application can open by default.

b1. If you select the Choose defaults for this program option, then a new window will open that lists all the extensions (types of files) that the selected program can handle (open). Look at the list
of extensions and select any other extensions (files types) you want to be opened by the selected program. After making your changes, click
Save.

Method 2. Associate a specific file type (extension) to open with a default program.

The second method is to choose a default program by extension.

1. Go to Control Panel >
Default programs and select Associate a file type or protocol with a program.

2. From the list of file extensions, select the extension that you want to change the default program to open with and then click
Change program.

3. Finally select from the suggested programs or select
More apps to find another program on your computer, to open files with the selected file extension.

Hope it helps,

Unable to alter default apps for opening files to specific applications

Hi Keegan Sanchez,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community.

I would like you to try the following steps:

· On the start menu, select settings.

· Select Apps and then select Default apps.

· To choose a default apps for each file type (for example, .mp3 files), scroll down to the file type and click on the app which is currently set as default.

· You will see the list of all the applications which can be associated with that file type. You may chose the application from that list.

Try with the above steps, and let us know, if you can alter default apps opening files, we look forward for your reply.
