Windows 10: Mail and Calendar default application

In default application, mail and calendar apps does not show default app. It shows add button. When I try to add, it shows no app is installed. But Microsoft mail and calendar app is installed. How to go about it.

Cannot set "Calendar" as default app

I mean if your mail app is the default, calendar app is going to be your default, though you can't select it or choose it from the default calendar selection.

if mail app is your default, you can test that Calendar app is your default by using cortana to assign an appointment (anything) and if you open Microsoft Calendar app, it should be there.

That's if you want Microsoft Calendar app to be your default. I have not tried to make other calendar applications to be the default for example google calendar.

I'm using Microsoft mail and calendar app. that's why it worked for me, since mail and calendar app from Microsoft are the same.

I think default selection for calendar is not working well, that's an OS problem should be fixed by Microsoft.

I hope I have helped you.

 

Changing default Window 10 calendar to Office 2013

Installed Windows 10 upgrade. I would LOVE to change the default calendar (and mail) in Windows 10 to my Office 2013 Calendar. I use Office for mail, contacts and calendar. This seems almost a no-brainer, but I cannot find any setting allowing me to use
Office applications as the default Windows 10 application. I have way too much information to migrate the data into a less robust application.

I've seen rants about this in other online forums and wanted to get MS Community input.

 

Hello lvgandhi,

You might see if you may be able to choose them as the default app from the Control Panel instead. *Smile

Thanks Brink.
Control panel default programs are showing MS calendar and mail as default. But Settings default is not showing any default programs for Calendar and mail. It shows choose default.

 

Are you able to do step 5 in OPTION SIX to set them fully default?

 

Yes.

 

Is it working properly now?

 

No. Settings default still shows empty for Calendar and mail though control panel default shows Calendar and mail.

 

Please go ahead and post a screenshot showing what you see in Settings in Systems -> Default apps.

 

Shawn, I think it remains that way unless you add another 3rd party calendar app because the Mail/Calendar apps work as one.
I could be wrong.

 

Yep, Mail and Calendar is one app, and would most likely why you can only set it as the default for one.

I can set the Mail app as default for Email, but not the Calendar app for Calendar in Settings. I think about all you can do is set them as the default in "Default Programs" in the Control Panel instead.

 

They also turn on and off with the click of only one button.
Why there's two buttons then? I do not know! *Wink

 

settings default is as below




control panel default for Calendar is as follows.

 

lvgandhi,

When you click on "Choose a default" for Email in your top screenshot, click on Mail if listed. If not, click on "Look for an app in the Store" to see if you can select the "Mail and Calendar" app there.
