Windows 10: How to change default app for HTML extension?

I recently re-installed my Windows 11 and struggled to set the Default App for the HTML file, it can only be opened with Ms. Edge, even when the default browser isn't Ms. Edge. I can't set the default app to the Code Editor such as Visual Studio Code or another app. Here's what I've tried: 1. Try to change from the Default Apps menu Failed, because there are no results for HTML extension.Screenshot: https://postimg.cc/McnNgXLM 2. Try to change from the File PropertiesFailed, because there's no Open With button like the other extension.Screenshot: https://postimg.cc/tspVrxYk & h

How to set a default app for extensions?

Hi Tyler,

Which app are you trying to set for .res extension?

Please try to check the app you are trying to set. Is it feasible with .res extension?

I suggest performing the steps below and check if it fixes the problem.

Go to Setting - Apps - Click on Default apps - Click on Choose default apps by file type.

On the left, search for .res extension

Across .res extension, tap on Choose a default

Try browsing for the app.

Save as MHTML defaults to HTML file extension
