Windows 10: "Open with" options different on latptop & desktop

Hi


I have a lot of PDFs on my drives, I often want to open them with Word. Irritatingly, this option is prominent on my desktop when I right-click:







But on my laptop it isn't, so I have to go to "use another app"





Any ideas what causes this difference?


Thanks!

:)

 

Open With opens with different application then the one selected

Can someone please provide the steps to fix this? This is maddening!

I just upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 and now it doesn't even show up in the list of Open With applications.

I don't want Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to be the default application to open image files as I use numerous different applications to work on my images. I just want it to be an option in the Open With list.

How do I get Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 to show up in the list of Open With applications and how do I confirm that when I select it to open a file it actually opens instead of some different application.

Thanks

 

windows 10 deleted my desktop files

Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

copied all files again to desktop.

Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

• Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
• Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
• Click on Users, select your User name
• Go to desktop folder

Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

 

Opening the same application on a different desktop opens it on the desktop it was first used on. Microsoft, *please* let us use the same applications on different desktops.

So here is the thing: the entire point about using multiple desktops is that we get to separate our windows into different "activities". One Ubuntu, for example, I use a desktop for work and another for personal things so that I don't have to deal with all
of them when I'm working.

On windows this is a hassle.

Here are the steps to reproduce the issue I'm facing:

• Open Google Chrome on a desktop.
• Make a new desktop (Win + Ctrl + D, or go to task view and click "New Desktop")
• Open Google Chrome again in the new desktop.

Now, you would want Windows to open a new Google Chrome window on the new desktop -- because of course, we could use Chrome for several things and we'd want to separate the stuff related to work from other things such as watching a random music video. This
should be simple, right? Not with Windows.

Instead of creating a new application window in the new desktop, Windows takes me back to the
original desktop where the application was first opened.


It's just very annoying to see how Windows missed a very simple thing.
No one -- and I repeat, no-one uses multiple desktops to separate applications. We use multiple desktops to separate use-cases! This problem has been here for years and several others have pointed it out -- but it's 2018 and there's
still no fix yet.
