  2. Default programs are not working.

    I recently received and update for my Windows 7 system and an automatic update for my Windows 10 system. Since then, default programs have been changed. The programs that were the default programs are no longer in the default program list. (ie. Word,
    Excel, Access and a variety of other programs.)

    Clicking on Settings, Default Programs and Set Default Programs produces a list of 13 programs. There use to be and should be many more. Why screw with us like this with updates? PR is at an all time low.

    I can find no way to add them back into the default list. Therefore, I can not change the default program to my choice. It looks like Edge is used to display most everything. Google.doc also used at times. Both of these programs are of an inferior design
    and usability.

    Once again, it looks like Microsoft and Bill Gates have struck again. Does anybody have any solutions or suggestions to try?

    A *.MSG file is most likely an Outlook Mail message file. It should be associated with OUTLOOK rather than "Office 2013."

    I assume that you've been going to "Default Programs" and then "Associate a file type or protocol with a program." See if doing it the following way fixes things:

    1. Go to "Default Programs" and click on "Set your default programs"
    2. Find and select Outlook in the list of Programs
    3. Click either "Set this program as default" and click OK
    4. Alternatively, select "Choose defaults for this program" make sure that the box next to .msg is checked and then click Save

    Program Defaults

    Hi Murad,

    A recent change in the configuration of your device can be one of the factors why this issue occurs. To assist you with your concern, we recommend that you reset the default programs by associating the file type with a specific
    program in the Control Panel. By doing this, you may able to view the file with the default program. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • In the Search box, type Control
      Panel
      and press Enter.
    • On the upper-right window, under View
      by, click Category and select
      Large icons.
    • Click Default Programs.
    • Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
    • Find the extension or the file that you’ve downloaded.
    • Double-click the extension to change the default program.

    Let us know if the solution above works for you.
