Windows 10: I accidently click on "always open with..." on a .SAV file type and now I can't save with...

The problem is as the tittle states: Additional info, when I go to save a .SAV file, it just open up with "How do you want to save open this file". Am I unable to save .SAV file type anymore from this and would just have to open it with something compatible like word press then save it?

:)

 

How do I revert back to default .sav application

There is no single application with which a .sav may be associated:
SAV File Extension - What is a .sav file and how do I open it?

Was the icon simply blank/white before you associated it? If so it was not specifically associated with anything, and you might try to 'unassociate' it:

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,

microsoft print to pdf files will not open after saving

We suggest that you save the PDF files on your device and check if the issue persists. You may also want to associate the PDF files to Microsoft Edge as the default program to make sure that you have a default application that will open all of your PDF files.
Here are the steps:

• Search for Default Programs.
• Go to Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
• Select the .pdf file type and then click the Change program button on the upper right of the
  Set Associations window.
• Choose Microsoft Edge and then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.
