Windows 10: Is there a way to disable "how do you want to open this file?" msg?

Discus and support Is there a way to disable "how do you want to open this file?" msg? in Windows 10 Software and Apps to solve the problem; For me it's the opposite. I like Windows asking how I want to open anything, just to be sure. *Biggrin Discussion in 'Windows 10 Software and Apps' started by SoWhy, Aug 10, 2015.

    But after asking me about opening a mov for the fourth time in five minutes, I want it to do what it says - keep using my default.

    You can put a tick mark to make it the default value.

    You can put the check mark there but it still keeps asking the next time you click the link or another that uses the same app.

    I didn't do anything special to solve it. But the problem stopped when I updated my Office 2010 to Office 2013 , , , *Biggrin *Smile

    So, apparently it is an Office 2010 on W10 issue.

    Interesting though. Before I upgraded Office, I also had the "how do you want" issue even when using a web-based email client (Comcast) and clicking on a link in the email. That is no longer the case.

    Puzzling things, these PCs . . . *Devil *Eek
