    Installed Office 365 but Setting to make it Default App does not work


    I had an Office 2010 then installed Office 365


    Clicking on files like .docx would open under 2010, so I tried the following

    * uninstalled 2010

    * both short & long repair procedures for Office 365 (under the Settings Apps)

    * lots of experimentation with Setting Default Apps with no luck


    Still can get 365 versions of Word, Excel etc to open when I double click on .docx; xlsx etc.

    :)

    Default Apps and Office 365 in Windows 10

    Would someone from Microsoft actually type an answer to this problem, as it described? The lame suggestions given so far have not addressed the issue. Office 365 is installed, but when attempting to associate files with Office 365, there is not a choice given
    to choose an Office 365 program.

    What is a user to do to get an xlsx or docx file to open with Excel 2016 or Word 2016 when the "Choose default apps" in settings is not recognizing that Office 365 exists?

    Cortana & Office 365 Integration

    We are trying to integrate Cortana with our Office 365 subscription, but it never works. Here are the steps we have done:



    • Turned on Cortona in the Office 365 Admin portal
    • We are using Windows 10 1703 – connected Office 365 service to Cortana
    Did the same on windows 10 mobile with no luck, Cortana says its connected to Office 365, but sees no data and we are getting zero errors

    We went rough office 365 support first and tried all fo their suggestions, they kicked us over to Windows support which is currently closed.

    We are on v1703 with all updates in place, it does not work on Windows 10 desktop or mobile

    any ideas? I can give you all steps 365 support had us run through if that will be helpful

    Thank you

    Doug

    Default Apps and Office 365 in Windows 10

    Same here. Trying to set the default app by file type only lists two options: the desktop version & "Search Windows App Store"

    This is crazy. How do you release windows 10 without first confirming that it connects with Office 365? Big mistake, HUUUGE (Donald Trump tone)
