Windows 10: No default mail app

I want to right click on a file and send it to a mail recipient but Windows 10 PRO 16299.309 tell me there is no default mail client. I have looked at the Windows default mail app and it is set to Outlook 2016, no success. I have opened Outlook 2016 and made sure that I checked off the box to set it as the default app for e-mail, contacts, etc., no success. *cry Of course I can work around this by opening Outlook and attaching the file to the e-mail but I should not have to.

Maybe I need to uninstall and re-install Office?

Send To Mail Recipient [Broken] Windows 10

Same issue here. Upgraded to windows 10 using new mail app as default. Setup mail app as instructed. When I right click on a doc/photo, select send to mail recipient; windows says there is no default mail app. Unfortunately, there is no instructions
for setting up the default windows 10 mail app as the default mail app. Major fubar MS! Need help with this now? What is the name and location of the mail app?????

 

Mail Default Program

Mail is shown as the default app in Windows 10. However, I keep getting a notice that there is no default mail app. I have tried several times to associate Mail as the default app but keep getting the notice.

 

Just out of curiosity, I went and checked mine as I've never done that. It works for me...Yes, I have Outlook 2016. It took it a bit to do so but it did.

That said, I would try a repair first and see if that fixes it. If not...then go ahead and uninstall and reinstall.
